Ac-[D-Lys2,Sar3]-Melanotropin-Potentiating Factor has been shown to reduce parkinsonian-like behavior in rats with unilateral lesions of their nigra-striatal pathways. It is metabolically stableand may be very useful in investigating Parkinson’s disease. Morley, JS; et al., Neuropeptides, 2, 109, (1981); Morley, JS; et al., NeuroReport, 5, 1877, (1994).
