“In the presence of forskolin , HOTT cell production of androstenedione, 17OHP, and progesterone increased by approximately 4.5-, 35-, and 3-fold, respectively.”

“Stimulation with forskolin increased the expression of the steroidogenic markers, which was accompanied by the production of pregnenolone and progesterone by HTPCs in vitro.”
“Treatment of monolayer cultures of HOTT cells with forskolin (0.01 to 20 mumol/L) or dbcAMP (0.01 to 1 mmol/L) for 48 h increased the production of androstenedione (8- to 15-fold) and progesterone (2- to 5-fold).”
“Treatment with forskolin or dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP) increased the production of progesterone and 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone as well as C19 steroids.”

“ Forskolin (10 microM) markedly increased production of both androstenedione (fivefold) and progesterone (threefold) as well as the activity of 3 beta HSD (sevenfold), and P450c17 (sevenfold) over basal.”

“Stimulation of the cyclase by forskolin or addition of 8-bromo-cAMP augments progesterone secretion by cultured cytotrophoblasts at least in part, by promoting accumulation of components of the cholesterol side-chain cleavage system.”
