## Abstract Elevated levels of ammonia in blood and brain result in derangement of cerebral function. Recently, lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress have been implicated in ammonia neurotoxicity. Because ammonia is primarily detoxified in astrocytes, we postulated that pathophysiological concent
The regulation of intracellular cyclic AMP (CAMP) formation by adenosine (Ado) and its analogues has been examined in primary cultures of rat-brain astrocytes and neurons. In the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor, Ro 20-1724, basal levels of cAMP ranged from 40-120 pmoVmg protein in both c
