Prevention of the negative chronotropic effect of adenosine by caffeine.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A constant pressure perfusion of the sinus node artery was performed in ten vagotomized dogs. The selective administration of adenosine, AMP, ADP or ATP into this artery caused a negative chronotropic effect which was not blocked by either atropine or tetrodotoxin, but was blocked by the continuous infusion of caffeine or theophylline. In the meanwhile atrial fibrillation was readily induced by acetylcholine.

Effect of imipramine and desipramine on adenosine receptors in isolated rat atria
The effect of different doses (1-50 µ M) of imipramine (IMI) and desipramine (DES) on the rate and force of contraction of isolated rat atria was studied. IMI and DES produced a dose-dependent increase in force of contraction (31- 94% for IMI and 35-118% for DES). Pretreatment of rats with reserpine (5 mg/kg) on the isolated atria with propranolol (1 µ g) inhibited the positive ionotropic eff...

The effect of physiological concentrations of caffeine (purified from Persian tea) on adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity at physiological and pathological concentrations of adenosine (as substrate) in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.3) at 37°C was investigated, using UV-VIS spectroscopy. ADA exhibited a bi-phasic activity behavior and both phases showed positive cooperativities indicating adenosine...

متن کاملThe effect of adenosine and caffeine on paragigantocellularis (PGi) nucleus neurons in morphine-dependent rats
In this study the effect of adenosine and caffeine on spontaneous activity of paragigantocellularis (PGi) neurons was investigated. The spontaneous activity of PGi neurons was significantly decreased by microinjection of adenosine (10 nM, 0.5 µl) into PGi nucleus of both control and morphine-dependent rats. The decrease in firing rate of PGi neurons of morphine-dependent rats was greater than t...
