“When ethanol (5%) was given along with TSH, sodium fluoride, Gpp(NH)p, or forskolin , there was a greater increase in AC activity than when no alcohol was present.”
“ Ethanol treatment enhanced intracellular adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) levels in response to either cholera toxin (CTX) or forskolin (FSK).”
“Forskolin had no effect on the ethanol ratio at either 1.0 microM or 10 microM, while forskolin at 100 microM induced a significant decrease in the ethanol ratio.”

“Preincubation of platelets with agents that increase levels of cAMP (i.e., forskolin , prostacyclin) inhibited these responses to ethanol in a concentration- and time-dependent manner.”
“In addition, ethanol significantly reduced the forskolin-induced increase in cAMP content in SMG in vitro while treatment with AM251 blocked this response.”

“The intestinal epithelia were activated with current raised by serosal administration of forskolin 5 microM. Ethanol extracts of the three plants all augmented the current additively when each was added after forskolin.”

“ Ethanol also reduced ATP levels in isolated gastric glands and in cultured parietal cells (EC(50): 8.8 +/- 0.4% and 8.5 +/- 0.2%, respectively) and decreased both basal and forskolin-stimulated cAMP levels.”
