Abstract:
Ascorbic acid (AA) can transiently stimulate LH and FSH release from superfused male hamster anterior pituitary glands. The effective concentration is 1 mM or higher. Since 8-Br-cAMP or 8-Br-cGMP can not mimic the AA stimulation pattern, the action mechanism is not mediated through cyclic nucleotide system.
