Abstract

The effect of forskolin on the hormonal (LH, FSH) activation and on the stimulation provided by other effectors (Gpp(NH)p,NaF) of the juvenile rat ovarian adenylate cyclase was investigated. Forskolin exhibited a synergistic action with LH, FSH and Gpp(NH)p but not with NaF. Addition of Ca2+ was inhibitory over a concentration range from 10(-5) to 10(-2) M whereas EGTA enhanced the response at 5.10(-5) M and inhibited it at higher concentration. The cAMP production was increased by addition of Mn2+ at low concentration (up to 5 mM) but markedly decreased at higher concentration (30 mM). FSH induced cAMP production was completely abolished at 30 mM Mn2+. The effect of vanadyl ion was very similar to that of Mn2+ Vanadate anion on the contrary was without effect on FSH stimulation.
