Popis: The divalent-cation ionophores A23187 and ionomycin exert dose-dependent suppressive effects on the stimulatory actions of luteinizing hormone in ovarian cells in vitro . Micromolar concentrations of both A23187 and ionomycin can inhibit the production of progesterone and the stimulation of ornithine decarboxylase activity. Inhibitory concentrations of these ionophores deplete total cell content of calcium, and also seem to suppress protein synthesis.
