Adenosine A2 receptors were labeled and visualized by autoradiography in tissue sections
of the human brain using the A2-selective agonist ligand [3 H](2-p-(2-car☐ yethyl) …

The A2AR is largely coexpressed with D2Rs and enkephalin mRNA in the striatum where it
modulates dopaminergic activity. Activation of the A2AR antagonizes D2R-mediated …

The function of striatal adenosine A 2A receptors (A 2A Rs) is well recognized because of
their high expression levels and the documented antagonistic interaction between A 2A Rs …

Adenosine A 2a receptors are not confined to dopamine-rich areas of the brain, since
thermocycling analysis shows that adenosine A 2a receptor mRNA is expressed also in the …

Adenosine A 2A receptors, which have been cloned from several mammalian species, are
activated by physiological concentrations of adenosine to stimulate the formation of cAMP …

Electrophysiological recordings in rat brain slices have been used to study the actions of
adenosine on striatal neurons and striatal excitatory amino acid neurotransmission …

Adenosine and dopamine (DA) strongly modulate the neuronal activity in the striatum by pre-
and postsynaptic mechanisms. As several behavioral and molecular studies indicate a …

Adenosine can influence dopaminergic neuro‐transmission in the basal ganglia via
postsynaptic inter‐action between adenosine A2A and dopamine D2 receptors. We have …

The A2A adenosine receptor (A2A‐AR) transcript and radioligand binding sites have a
distinct distribution in rat brain, restricted primarily to the striatum, nucleus accumbens and …

Human adenosine A2A and rat dopamine D2 receptors (A2A and D2 receptors) were co-
transfected in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells to study the interactions between two …
