Cardiotonic agent: Agents that have a strengthening effect on the heart or that can increase cardiac output. Vasodilator agent: Agent causing dilation of the blood vessels. Forskolin activates Adenylate Cyclase, thus increasing the cyclic AMP intra-cellular concentration. Forskolin is commonly used to raise levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP) in the study and research of cell physiology. Forskolin has been mentioned as a possible weight loss aid, and as a mean to treat Glaucoma, as it may reduce the intraocular pressure. See also United States Patent Application 20100168014
