Abstract

The stimulation of melanogenesis by L-tyrosine in hamster melanoma is several-fold higher than that by norepinephrine, epinephrine, clonidine and isoproterenol and absent in the case of tyramine dopamine and phenylephrine. Therefore, the melanogenic effect of L-tyrosine in hamster melanoma follows a different pathway than that linked to the activation of dopaminergic and adrenergic receptors.
