PG - 977-85 AB - The effect of GRF adenylate cyclase activation was studied in normal human, bovine and rat pituitary tissues. Human GRF (hGRF) activates adenylate cyclase in normal human pituitary membrane preparations in a concentration dependent manner (ED5 0 = 10(-11) M). In bovine pituitary cells hGRF stimulates GH secretion into the medium (ED5 0 = 7 X 10(-12) M) and activates adenylate cyclase (ED5 0 = 10(-11) M). In normal rat pituitary cells in monolayer culture, rat GRF (rGRF) stimulates adenylate cyclase (ED5 0 = 3 X 10(-11) M). In normal human pituitary membrane preparations and in normal rat pituitary cells in culture, somatostatin inhibits GRF-stimulated adenylate cyclase in a non-competitive manner, while it does not affect basal (i.e. non-stimulated) adenylate cyclase levels. VIP, a peptide which is structurally homologous to hGRF and rGRF is a weak GRF-agonist and activates adenylate cyclase in human and rat pituitary preparations at concentrations greater than 10 nM.
