Background: Activation of platelets is a critical component of atherothrombosis and plays a
central role in the progression of unstable cardiovascular syndromes. Adenosine, acting …

The neuroprotective role of adenosine receptor agonists in various models of ischaemia and
neuronal excitotoxicity has been attributed to adenosine A1 receptor activation. In this study …

2 '-C-Methyl analogues of selective adenosine receptor agonists such as (R)-PIA, CPA,
CCPA, NECA, and IB-MECA were synthesized in order to further investigate the subdomain …

During cerebral ischemia, the expression of interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), which has neuroprotective
properties, increases. To understand the underlying mechanism, the regulation of IL‐6 …

The ability of adenosine agonists to modulate K+‐evoked 4D†‐[3H] aminobutyric acid ([3H]
GABA) and acetylcholine (ACh) release from rat striatal synaptosomes was investigated …

A2A Adenosine Receptors from Rat Striatum and Rat Pheochromocytoma PC12 Cells:
Characterization with Radioligand Binding and by Activation of Adenylate Cyclase - PMC Back …

The cellular co-expression of adenosine A 2a receptor mRNA and preproenkephalin A (PPE
A) mRNA and A 2a receptor mRNA and prosomatostatin (pSRIF) mRNA in rat striatum was …

We have previously found, in striatal membrane preparations from young (2 months old)
rats, that stimulation of adenosine A 2 receptors (with the selective adenosine A 2 agonist …

We investigated the role of the cAMP link to the signal transduction mechanism coupled with
adenosine A2A and A2Breceptors in cultured human coronary artery endothelial cells …

The A 2 adenosine receptor agonist, CGS 21680 in nanomolar concentrations, reversibly
increased in a concentration-dependent manner the amplitude of orthodromically-evoked …
