Abstract
Basal, 5'-guanylimidodiphosphate, GTP-, NaF-, forskolin-, D,L-isoproterenol-, glucagon- and secretin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities were investigated in cardiac membranes from young adult (6 month old), old (20 month old) and senescent (24 month old) Sprague Dawley rats. The only significant difference between old and young adult rats was a 43% decrease of the glucagon-stimulated enzyme activity. In senescent rats compared to young adult rats, we observed a 23% decrease in forskolin-stimulated enzyme activity, a more severe (-73%) decrease in glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity and a decrease (-38%) of the response to secretin. The response to the beta-adrenoreceptor agonist D,L-isoproterenol was unaffected. These results suggest an alteration with age in the vicinity of the catalytic unit of adenylate cyclase and a selective decrease of functional glucagon and secretin receptors.
