In Vitro: Treatment of hepatocytes with Sp-cAMPS sodium salt, the stimulatory diastereomer of adenosine cyclic 3',5'-phosphorothioate, mimics the response seen with glucagon. The glucagon-stimulated increases in the level of Ca2+ can be mimicked by Sp-cAMPS sodium salt.
In Vivo: In chronic alcohol consumption (CAC) mice, direct infusion of the Sp-cAMPS (1 µg/µL) sodium salt into the prefrontal cortex significantly improves or impairs, respectively, working memory performance in withdrawn and water animals.
