“The addition of adrenocorticotropic hormone , forskolin, 22R-hydroxycholesterol, or dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate increased the secretion of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and cortisol twofold to threefold and twofold to sixfold, respectively, above basal rates.”
“When cells were incubated in the presence of adrenocorticotropic hormone , forskolin, 22R-hydroxycholesterol, or dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate plus atrial natriuretic polypeptide, cortisol secretion was inhibited 50% to 90% and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate was inhibited 25% to 50%.”
