What do melanocyte-stimulating hormones do? - answer-promotes the pituitary
secretion of melanin (which darkens skin) and lipotropin

(msh) is a melanotropic secretary cell type
What do adrenocorticotropic hormones (acth) do? - answer-regulates the release of
cortisol from the adrenal cortex
And initially a brief spurt of aldosterone.
Extra adrenal effects of acth is stimulation of melanocytes activation of tissue lipase.
Promotes cholesterole storage of adrenal to metabolise into steriod hormones
