solely to the receptor, studies were undertaken utilizing fluoride ion (F-) and GMP-PNP (a synthetic guanyl nucleotide). Both of these reagents stimulate adenylate cyclase via a mechanism independent of the beta receptor. Again the addition of ThI to samples stimulated with either fluoride or GMP-PNP produce identical responses, 44 and 43 percent inhibition respectively. These results are in di...
