The Best Tasting Fish In The World, Ranked 25) Rainbow Trout: This was one of the first fish I ever recall truly loving. We used to catch these in the Smokey Mountains in North Carolina when I was a kid and would cook them camping.
Both melanocyte-stimulating hormone and Î±-MSH are capable of stimulating melanin production in sun exposed areas under the action of ultraviolet light. Prolonged dosages of Î±-MSH, however, will not only increase pigmentation of the skin, but may also cause hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth) and skin atrophy.
Melanin is produced by special cells called melanocytes. More melanin is produced when the skin is not exposed to sunlight. Melanin ranges in color from yellow to brown to black. The stratum basale cells phagocytize the melanin produced by the melanocytes and it accumulates within them. Freckles and moles are seen where melanin is concentrated in one spot.
