The binding of the reportedly A 2A selective agonist CGS 21680 (2-[p-(2-carboxyethyl)
phenylethylamino]-5′-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine) to cortex and striatum was examined …

Modulation of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated inhibition, and glutamate-mediated
excitation by highly selective μ and δ opioid agonists was studied using intracellular …

The effect of guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) modifiers on the binding of the
adenosine A 2A receptor agonist 2-[4-(2-p-carboxyethyl [3 H]) phenyl-amino]-5'-N …

1 The P1‐purinoceptors mediating relaxation of the rat duodenum and inhibition of
contraction of the rat urinary bladder were characterized by use of adenosine and its …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with glial activation and increased levels of pro‐
inflammatory cytokines. Epidemiological results suggest that anti‐inflammatory therapies …

Two adenosine receptors A1 and A2 are associated with either stimulation (A2) or inhibition
(A1) of adenylate cyclase. Using the clonal cell line Ob1771, we have studied the …

Both glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and adenosine influence
dopaminergic function in the striatum. We now evaluated the GDNF effect on dopamine …

From behavioural and biochemical experiments, we have found evidence for the existence
of a specific adenosine A2a receptor/dopamine D2 receptor interaction in the brain …

1. We have assessed the effects of adenosine receptor agonists and antagonists on
collagen‐induced 5‐hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) release and cyclic AMP generation in human …

Ethanol affects the function of neurotransmitter systems, resulting in neuroadaptations that
alter neural excitability. Adenosine is one such receptor system that is changed by ethanol …
