  • Title: Forskolin potentiates adrenocorticotropin-induced cyclic AMP production and steroidogenesis in isolated rat adrenal cells.
    Author: Moriwaki K, Itoh Y, Iida S, Ichihara K.
    Journal: Life Sci; 1982 Jun 21; 30(25):2235-40. PubMed ID: 6287144.
    Abstract:
    Forskolin, a unique diterpene which directly activates the adenylate cyclase, stimulated production of both cyclic AMP and corticosterone in isolated rat adrenal cells, in vitro. This agent also potentiated the action of adrenocorticotropin and/or cholera toxin on cyclic AMP production and steroidogenesis at lower concentrations. It augmented both an early (cyclic AMP production) and a late (steroidogenesis) action of the hormone in the adrenal gland.
