1 The essential role of extracellular calcium in the insulinogenic effect of agents which increase cAMP levels--theophylline--and which activate protein kinase C--12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate--was demonstrated by showing (a) partial inhibition of insulin secretion by calcium channel blockers, (b) no enhancement of insulin release in the absence of extracellular calcium and (c) greater enhancement of insulin release in the presence of the calcium channel activator BAY-K-8644, which caused no stimulation by itself. -13-acetate insulin Homo sapiens
