β¦ Synopsis
The intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP reached a maximum in 3.5-day old cultures of Mycobacterium smegmatis grown in the presence of glycerol as the main source of carbon. Glucose-grown cells exhibited decreased cyclic AMP levels at all stages of growth. When M. smegmatis cells were incubated with various metabolites, pyruvate increased whereas glucose, ctric acid, succinic acid and lactic acid decreased intracellular cyclic AMP levels. No cyclic AMP was detected in the incubation medium. The presence of a cyclic AMP-binding protein was demonstrated in cell-free extracts of M. smegmatis.

## Abstract It is known that dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP) and theophylline inhibit the spontaneous maturation of isolated mouse oocytes. The present study demonstrates that dbcAMP (0.01 β 1.0 mM) as well as cyclic AMP (cAMP, 10 mM) and a phosphodiesterase inhibitor (IBMX, 0.01 β 1.0 mM) prevent sp
Glucose-induced cyclic (3H) AMP accumulation, insulin secretory responses and the metabolism of glucose were studied in pancreatic islets from Acomys cahirinus. 27.7 mmol/l of glucose stimulated neither islet cyclic (3H) AMP accumulation nor insulin release during the first 5 min of incubation. Stim
