Resumen:
The melanocortin system includes the melanocortins, their receptors and two endogenous
antagonists. This system is involved in several physiological processes in the brain.
Melanocortins have potent anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects in the central
nervous system (CNS). Therefore, they are suitable candidates for the treatment of
inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders of the brain.
