Effect of estradiol on stimulated theophylline and prolactin Ñà2+ exit from intracellular stores of pig oocytes was investigated using fluorescent dye chlortetracycline. It was shown that in the presence of estradiol neithert theophylline nor prolactin stimulated Ñà2+ exit from intracellular stores of oocytes. Unlike, the common action of theophylline and prolactin, also in the presence of estradiol, stimulated Ñà2+ exit from intracellular stores. Inhibition of protein kinase Ñ inhibits Ñà2+ exit from intracellular stores in common action of theophylline and prolactin. These data suggest an obvious influence of estradiol on Ñà2+ exit from intracellular stores of pig oocytes stimulated by theophylline and prolactin.

Key words:  estradiol, theophylline, prolactin, calcium, pig oocytes
