Abstract
The effect of increasing intracellular levels of cAMP has been investigated on the PI response to stimulation of α1-adrenoceptors in rat kidney. Stimulation of adenylate cyclase with forskolin or incubation with dibutyryl cAMP (dcAMP) inhibited noradrenaline (NA)-stimulated [3H]inositol phosphate (IP) accumulation. Forskolin did not alter the EC50 to NA. No effect on NA-stimulated [3H]IP accumulation was seen with dibutyryl cGMP (dcGMP). The results suggest that hormones which produce alterations in cAMP levels influence α1-adrenoceptor-mediated responses.
