title: The effect of beta-receptor stimulation on the activity of the inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase.
abstract: Isoprenaline and adrenaline produced an increase of cAMP content and a decrease of the activity of the endogenous inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (type I inhibitor) in human lymphocytes and in rat heart. The maximal effect was seen at a concentration of 10(-6) M. Noradrenaline and dopamine required much higher concentration to elicite the same effect. The decrease of type I inhibitor activity was mediated through beta-adrenergic receptors because propranolol, but not phentolamine, blocked the effects produced by isoprenaline. Stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors did not influence the activity of type II inhibitor.
