## Abstract Generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in brain tissue leads to neurodegeneration. The major source of ROS is the mitochondrial respiratory chain. We studied regulation of Ca^2+^ level, mitochondrial potential, and ROS generation in defined mixed hippocampal cell cultures exposed t
Extracellular adenosine (Ado) and ATP stimulate astrocyte proliferation through activation of P 1 and P 2 purinoceptors. Extracellular GTP and guanosine (Guo), however, that do not bind strongly to these receptors, are more effective mitogens than ATP and Ado. Exogenous Guo, like GTP and 5Ј-guanosin
