title: Effects of insulin and streptozotocin-diabetes on isoproterenol-stimulated cyclic AMP production in myocytes isolated from rat heart.
abstract: Isoproterenol (ISO), at concentrations of up to 10(-5) mol/L, caused a dose-dependent stimulation of cyclic AMP (cAMP) production in rat cardiomyocytes. At higher ISO concentrations, relative inhibition was seen. Insulin augmented ISO-stimulated cAMP production and appeared to mitigate the toxic effects of high ISO concentrations. This synergy between insulin and ISO observed in cardiomyocytes was not observed in adipocytes. Streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetes abolished the stimulatory effects of insulin on ISO-induced cAMP production in cardiomyocytes.
