E max (% forskolin) (bottom) | 10 minutes | 34.27 ± 9.834 | 39.18 ± 7.80 | 64.77 ± 6.23 |
45 minutes | 39.72 ± 10.82 | 50.57 ± 9.44 | 47.97 ± 4.61 | |
pEC50 | 10 minutes | 8.24 ± 0.36 | 8.52 ± 0.32 | 8.30 ± 0.43 |

HEK‐RXFP3 cells were stimulated with agonist for 45 minutes, with addition of forskolin 5 minutes after agonist addition. The efficacy (E max) and potency (pEC50) were determined at 10 and 45 minutes. Efficacy is expressed as a percentage of the response to forskolin (10 μmol L−1). Data represent mean ± SEM of three independent experiments.
