Corticotropin: Stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone alpha: Anorexigenic peptide. Increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in melanocytes. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone beta: Increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in melanocytes. Beta-endorphin: Endogenous orexigenic opiate.
