title: [Adrenergic regulation of adenylate cyclase activity in the myocardium of rats of different ages].
abstract: The mechanism of regulation of adenylate cyclase activity has been studied in adult and old rats. The basal and fluoride-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity was found to remain unchanged, while the epinephrine-stimulated enzyme activity rised in myocardium of adult and old rats. In chemical denervation the basal and stimulated activity of adenylate cyclase increased irrespective of age, the basal and epinephrine-stimulated activity of the enzyme was significantly higher in old rats. The age-related differences in regulation of myocardial adenylate cyclase appear to be determined by changes in receptor-mediated properties of adenylate cyclase complex. This phenomenon is responsible for peculiarities of the humoral regulation of the heart functions during ageing.
