abstract：:Tumor-promoting phorbol esters are believed to affect cell functions by activating a Ca+2-and lipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C). 12-0-Tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) inhibits LH stimulation of progesterone (P) accumulation in rat granulosa cells. To determine the mechanisms by which TPA inhibits...
