Homogeneous pig ACTH and alpha MSH were given separately in large quantities to a bilaterally adrenalectomized human subject. The daily intramuscular maintenance dose was 24 mg of ACTH and 8 mg of alpha MSH. Intense darkening of the skin followed administration of each peptide. Although alpha MSH and ACTH in appropriate amounts can induce darkening of human skin, it is not known which peptide contributes more to the hyperpigmentation that occurs in a given patient with endocrine disease.
