Influences of adenosine receptor antagonism on vasodilator responses to adenosine and exercise in adenosine responders and nonresponders.
We previously demonstrated a bimodal distribution of vasodilator responsiveness to adenosine (Ado) infusion in human subjects, despite similar responses to exercise between subgroups [subjects responsive to Ado infusion (Ado responders) and subjects with blunted vasodilator responses to Ado infusion (Ado nonresponders]). (Martin EA, Nicholson WT, Eisenach JH, Charkoudian N, and Joyner MJ. J App...
متن کاملAdenosine: Key Link between Allergy and Asthma?
Mast cells are the main effector cell type of immunoglobulin E (IgE) -dependent immediate hypersensitivity responses manifested as seasonal rhinitis, urticaria and life threatening anaphylaxis-inducing food allergies [1]. The causative agents are pre-formed inflammatory mediators stored within cytoplasmic granules that are released immediately (degranulation) following activation, and lipid med...
متن کاملAdenosine and Adenosine Analogues
Adenosine receptors that modulate adenylate cyclase activity have been identified recently in a number of tissues. The purpose of these investigations was to determine the effect of adenosine on ion transport in rabbit ileum in vitro. Adenosine and some of its analogues were found to increase the short circuit current (Isc) and the order of potency was N-ethylcarboxamide-adenosine 2 2-chloroade...
متن کاملADENOSINE IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Besides being a metabolite of nucleotides like ATP, adenosine is a mediator of neuronal function in the central nervous system. Its actions are mediated by at least three extracellular receptors. In this review different aspects of adenosine such as biosynthesis, release, inactivation and its receptors are discussed. It also covers pre- and postsynaptic effects as well as postreceptor mecha...
متن کاملRole of Adenosine receptor in lung cancer
Summary: Adenosine through adenosine receptor have a crucial role in biology of lung cancer. Recent study indicated adenosine receptors have a crucial role in various aspect of lung cancer from cell growth and metastasis to modulation of apoptosis and it could be considered as a potential candidate for treatment of the lung cancer.
