note = "There are many well-known roles for the proopiomelanocortin (POMC) derived peptides and their receptors, the melanocortin receptors (MC-R). The focus here is on the evolving role of the melanocortin system in inflammation. Chronic inflammatory states such as those occurring in diabetes and obesity are associated with both a hyperactive hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis as well as increased incidence of atherosclerosis.",
