At synapses, ATP is released and metabolised through ecto‐nucleotidases forming
adenosine, which modulates neurotransmitter release through inhibitory A1 or facilitatory …

The extracellular catabolism of exogenously added AMP was studied in immunopurified
cholinergic nerve terminals and in slices of the hippocampus and cerebral cortex of the rat …

Characteristics of extracellular ATP-evoked electrical responses in rat hippocampal neurons
were investigated. Extracellular ATP (100 μM) induced a rapid depolarization followed by …

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease leading to motor
neuron dysfunction resulting in impairment of neuromuscular transmission. A2A adenosine …

The effect of ATP and its congeners on the adrenergic neuroeffector transmission was
evaluated in isolated blood vessels of the rabbit. ATP, ADP, AMP and adenosine inhibited …

The action of adenosine and adenosine triphosphate on the uptake of 45 Ca has been
studied on the synaptosome-rich preparation from the rat cerebral cortex. The preparation …

Abstract Adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) is the main co-transmitter accompanying the
release of acetylcholine from motor nerve terminals. Previously, we revealed the direct …

Immunocytochemistry shows that purinergic receptors (P1Rs) type A1 and A2A (A1R and A2
AR, respectively) are present in the nerve endings at the P6 and P30 Levator auris longus …

Over the last decades, since the discovery of ATP as a transmitter, accumulating evidence
has been reported about the role of this nucleotide and purinergic receptors, in particular …

The uptake of Ca2+ by a K+‐depolarized rat brain cerebral cortical crude synaptosomal
preparation (P2 fraction) was investigated. The characteristics of the Ca2+ uptake system …
