Abstract
The effects of a beta-adrenergic agonist and a cyclic AMP analogue on activation, activity, and termination of FMLP-stimulated superoxide anion production were investigated. Incubation with isoproterenol resulted in a 50% reduction in the maximal rate of superoxide production and a 3-4-fold increase in the rate of termination of superoxide production. Exposure to 1 mM dibutyryl cyclic AMP resulted in a 40% decrease in the maximal rate and a 3-fold increase in the rate of termination of FMLP-induced superoxide production. Neither agent had a significant effect on the lag time prior to superoxide anion generation.Entities:
