title: Effect of forskolin on cAMP accumulation and ketogenesis in isolated hepatocytes.
abstract: The effect of forskolin on ketogenesis and cAMP accumulation was studied in hepatocytes from euthyroid and hypothyroid rats. Forskolin stimulated ketogenesis, cAMP production and potentiated glucagon-stimulated cAMP accumulation on both euthyroid and hypothyroid groups. The ketogenic effect of glucagon was inhibited by forskolin in both groups. Also, forskolin, glucagon and methylisobutylxanthine (MIX) combined did not significantly increase ketogenesis.
