Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Treatment with insulin, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) or theophylline, which uniformly influence the intracellular cAMP level, accounted for appreciable changes in the movement of Tetrahymena pyriformis. All applied treatments caused a quantitative decrease in the percentage of relatively rapid movements (straight and spiral swimming) and a proportional increase in that of slow movements (standing, turn, creeping). A single treatment with insulin caused a quantitative decrease in fast movements and a quantitative increase in slow movements also in the offspring generations and reexposure to insulin had a similar, but even stronger effect.
