title: Effect of H-7 on the modulation of glucagon actions by activators of protein kinase-C.
abstract: The stimulations of ureagenesis and cyclic AMP accumulation induced by glucagon were inhibited by 10 nM vasopressin or 100 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). The maximal accumulation of cyclic AMP induced by glucagon was clearly diminished by these agents without change in the EC50 for the peptide hormone suggesting a non-competitive type of inhibition. H-7 blocked the inhibition of glucagon-stimulated ureagenesis induced by PMA and vasopressin and diminished their effect on the accumulation of cyclic AMP induced by glucagon. It is concluded that activation of protein kinase C inhibits the stimulation of ureagenesis and the accumulation of cyclic AMP induced by glucagon in liver cells from hypothyroid rats; H-7 inhibits the effects of protein kinase C activation.
