Purinergic signaling plays important roles in control of vascular tone and remodeling. There
is dual control of vascular tone by ATP released as a cotransmitter with noradrenaline from …

In 1929 Drury and Szent-Györgyi published a seminal paper describing the potent actions of
adenine compounds. Some decades later, adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) was proposed …

▪ Abstract Angina pectoris often results from ischemic episodes that excite chemosensitive
and mechanoreceptive receptors in the heart. Ischemic episodes release a collage of …

Extracellular nucleotides have been implicated in a number of physiological functions.
Nucleotides act on cell-surface receptors known as P2 receptors, of which several subtypes …

Several reviews of coronary physiology have been published in the last decade (Bassenge
1984; Berne and Rubio 1979; Feigl 1983). The purpose of the present review is to provide …

Blood flow, particularly in the skin, is essential for the success of plastic surgical operations.
This review describes recent studies of the perivascular nerves and vascular endothelial …

In the early twentieth century, Sir Henry Dale and others described brilliant studies of
autonomic neurotransmission utilizing acetylcholine and noradrenaline. However, within the …

Characterization of P2-purinoceptor subtypes has facilitated understanding of the many
diverse effects produced by purine nucleotides. P2X-Purinoceptors are located on vascular …

Freshly harvested rabbit aortic endothelial cells on filters were exposed to two 3 min periods
of a sixfold increase in flow rate of the perfusion buffer. This led to an increase in the levels …

This review discusses evidence that central noradrenergic neurones are involved in the
response and adaptation to stress. Stress-induced changes in neurochemical processes …
