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 |
