Zebrafish Bioassay for Screening Therapeutic Candidates Based on Melanotrophic Activity

In this study, we used the zebrafish animal model to establish a bioassay by which physiological efficacy differential of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) analogues could be measured by melanosome dispersion in zebrafish larvae. Brain-skin connection research has purported the interconne...
