In a breast cancer patient whose tumor cells express large amounts of estrogen receptors and are therefore very sensitive to estradiol, which of these drugs will be very effective in reducing plasma levels of estradiol and consequently the breast tumor growth? Group of answer choices Letrozole Paclitaxel Methotrexate Megestrol

The physiological effects of epinephrine should in principle be mimicked by addition of cAMP to the target cells. In practice, addition of cAMP to intact target cells elicits only a minimal physiological response. Why? When the structurally related derivative dibutyryl cAMP (shown below) is added to intact cells, the expected physiological response is readily apparent. Explain the basis for the difference in cellular response to these two substances. Dibutyryl cAMP is widely used in studies of cAMP function.
