The Second Messenger System Involving Adenyl Cyclase
نویسنده
چکیده
Cyclic AMP (adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate or cyclic adenylate) has now been established as a second messenger mediating many of the effects of a variety of hormones. Severial of the metabolic effects mediated by cyclic AMP are discussed, and it is suggested that certain other ("functional" or "mechanical") hormonal effects may be similarly mediated. In particular, the evidence presented supports the hypothesis that the positive inotropic response to the catecholamines is mediated by cyclic AMP. Although knowledge of the biological role of cyclic AMP has not been widely applied clinically, sufficient knowledge has now accumulated to make research in this area desirable.

Many reports state a marked reduction of catecholamine (CA) in cardiac tissue and an increased CA concentration of serum and urine in patients with congestive heart failure 1)-5). Thus, it is assumed that the function of the impared heart might be supported by the increased blood CA. It has been reported that the inotropic 6)-12) and chronotropic response 13)-16) of CA to the cardiovascular sys...

The discovery of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) has provided a focal point for studies on the mode of action of hormones. Cyclic AMP seems to function as an ' intracellular second messenger' mediating the action of many different hormones (Sutherland, 0ye & Butcher, 1965; Sutherland & Robison, 1966; Robison, Butcher & Sutherland, 1968). The primary hormonal message arriving at a cel...

The potential for cross-talk between the adenyl cyclase and phosphoinositide (PPI) lipid second messenger system was investigated in astrocytes cultured from neonatal rat brain. Glutamate-stimulated PPI turnover, measured by the formation of total inositol phosphates from myo-[3H]inositol-labeled lipids, was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by the elevation of intracellular cyclic ...
متن کاملAdenyl cyclase and cyclic AMP. Biochemical links in the regulation of myocardial contractility.
The actions of many hormones may be related to their capacity to increase adenyl cyclase activity in their target organs. The evidence indicating that catecholamines and glucagon augment myocardial contractility by enhancing the activity of myocardial adenyl cyclase is summarized. Furthermore, data are presented suggesting that the inotropic actions of epinephrine and glucagon ultimately may be...
