The effects of forskolin and isoproterenol on total cyclic AMP accumulation and relaxation were compared in uterine segment from estrogen-treated rabbits and term-pregnant rats. In the rabbit, forskolin (0.2–5.0 μM) inhibited spontaneous and acetylcholine-induced contractions and increased cyclic AMP levels. At lower doses forskolin significantly inhibited contractions but had little effect on cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels. Isoproterenol (0.005–0.5 μM), doses equi-effective to those of forskolin for inhibition of contractions, did not alter cyclic AMP levels. In the rat, forskolin (0.5 μM) and isoproterenol (0.05 μM) inhibited spontaneous and potassium-induced contractions by 80%. This reduction was accompanied by an increase in cyclic AMP levels, but the increase was significantly greater with forskolin than with isoproterenol. We conclude that: (1) cAMP may mediate relaxation under certain conditions but it is not an obligatory mediator, (2) some form of compartmentalization of cyclic AMP might exist in the myometrium.
