Adenylate cyclase inhibition by hormones. The Mg2+ hypothesis.

abstract：:The dynamics of changes in membrane potential, cytosolic free Ca2+, [Ca2+]i and immunoreactive insulin release were assessed in RINm5F cells. Membrane depolarization and a rise in [Ca2+]i preceded the stimulation of insulin release by D-glyceraldehyde. Forskolin, which raised the cellular cyclic AMP levels, stimulated...
