SUMMARY

The role of cyclic AMP in the mediation of hormone action is reviewed, including information available from 1958–1971. Evidence for its involvement in each hormone action is considered separately. The known mechanisms by which cyclic AMP stimulates specific metabolic processes are also described. Other speculations on the role of cyclic AMP in the mediation of hormone action are discussed.
