Abstract
A large variety of hormones and neurotransmitters elicits specific cellular responses that reach their maximum within a few minutes. These hormonal effects are mediated by membrane-bound receptors and generally involve intracellular signals or “second messengers”. One part of these fast cellular hormone responses is triggered by an increased formation of cyclic AMP. The effects of β-adrenergic agonists, of histamine via H2-receptors, some effects of prostaglandins (e.g., PGE1, PGD2 and PGI2 in platelets), of adenosine (in platelets) and of some polypeptide hormones, e.g., glucagon, belong to this groupl.
