    Various regimes of freezing and thawing as well as adrenaline and fluoride ions are studied for their effect on the adenylate cyclase activity in liver tissue preparations. The reduction of basal and fluoride-stimulating adenylate cyclase activity and a decrease in the adrenaline-stimulating activity of the enzyme after freezing and thawing are shown. Freezing and thawing are studied for molecular mechanisms of their damaging effect on adenylate cyclase.

    This review summarizes current knowledge on the adenylate cyclase system of human platelets. In the first part, the main molecular entities of this system are described, emphasis being layed on coupling proteins (Ns, Ni) which transduce the hormonal message from receptors to the catalytic unit. The mechanisms by which regulation of adenylate cyclase occurs is discussed and a comprehensive model is proposed. In the second part, are reviewed the hormonal and non hormonal regulators of the adenylate cyclase system. The role of the platelet adenylate cyclase system is discussed in relation to pathology and the action of certain drugs on platelet activity.
