α-黑素细胞刺激素诱导促性腺激素释放。

The present study demonstrates that synthetic alpha-MSH given as a 2.5 mg intravenous bolus induces an unequivocal rise in LH and FSH in male subjects but not in female subjects during the low estrogen phase of the cycle.

本研究表明，在女性月经周期的低雌激素阶段，静脉推注2.5毫克合成α-促黑素细胞激素会使男性受试者的促黄体生成素（LH）和促卵泡生成素（FSH）明显升高，但不会使女性受试者出现这种情况。
