Topics for Further Discussion Explore the role of GLP-1 and GIP, molecules known as incretins
Indeed, it has been suggested that certain cytokines that are upregulated during HIV infection have the capacity to induce the production of -MSH by oral melanocytes and keratinocytes and to mediate the upregulation of expression of MC1R by melanocytes, resulting in increased melanin production
