MSH: The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.,CSP: active sympathomimetic hormone from the adrenal medulla in most species; it stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic vasoconstriction and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the heart, and dilates bronchi and cerebral vessels; used in treatment of asthma and cardiac failure and to delay absorption of local anesthetics.,NCI: A hormone and neurotransmitter.,PDQ: The synthetic form of the naturally occurring sympathomimetic amine with bronchodilating, intraocular pressure reducing, and vasoconstricting activity. By stimulating alpha adrenergic receptors, this agent causes vasoconstriction, thereby increasing vascular resistance and blo
