A 2A adenosine receptors are expressed on immune cells including neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, monocytes/macrophages, and mast cells. Activation of A 2A receptors on these cells stimulates an increase in [cyclic AMP] i and causes a diminution of inflammatory responses. In mast cells, degran

The role of adenosine receptor-mediated signaling was examined in the alcohol withdrawal syndrome. CD-1 mice received a liquid diet containing ethanol (6.7%, v/v) or a control liquid diet that were abruptly discontinued after 14 days of treatment. Mice consuming ethanol showed a progressive increase
The pathogenesis of congestive cirrhosis is generally thought to be a reaction of the hepatic stroma to hypoxia, pressure, or necrosis. This does not explain the poor correlation between symptoms and severity of fibrosis and the irregular distribution of fibrosis within the liver. We have observed h
