Pigment movements triggered by the vertebrate melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) are known to be mediated at the cellular level by cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). A similar role for cAMP is indicated in the melanosome-dispersing action of catecholamines acting via rβ3-adrenergic receptors. Thus, MSH and rβ3-adrenergic agonists cause an elevation of cAMP within chromatophores. On the other hand, a lowering of cAMP level seems to be associated with the paling action of melatonin and α-adrenergic agonists. Depending upon the cell type and species tested, cyclic guanosme monophosphate (cGMP) may have no effect or cause either darkening or paling. Although cGMP induces paling in frog skin, the lack of evidence for a physiological paling agent makes it difficult to assign a role for cGMP The mechanism of action of cyclic nucleotides and the details of the pigment-translocating mechanism are far from clear, but recent studies indicate that changes in free calcium ion levels play a critical role. This article will primarily review three areas' the paling action of cGMP, the darkening action of ionophore A23187, and the actions of enkephalms and endorphins on chromatophores. In addition, new data are presented to support the concept that the A23187-induced darkening of frog skin does not involve either prostaglandin biosynthesis or adenylate cyclase stimulation.
