alfa-MSH signalling via melanocortin 5 receptor promotes lipolysis and impairs re-esterification in adipocytes

The melanocortin system has a clear effect on the mobilisation of stored lipids in adipocytes. The aim of the current study was to investigate the role of melanocortin 5 receptor (MC5R) on alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH)-induced lipolysis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. To this end, MC5R expr...
