The advent of transgenic techniques provides a unique opportunity to study adenosine receptor-mediated cardioprotection. Transgenic A 1 receptor overexpression increases myocardial protection without impairing intrinsic function, but at the expense of resting bradycardia and a blunted response to ca

A 1 adenosine receptors (A 1 ARs) mediate the effects of adenosine in many tissues, making this receptor subtype an extremely important transducer of adenosine action. Recent structure-function and computer modeling studies based on the structure of mammalian rhodopsin suggest that the upper part of
Acute liver injury is associated with renal insufficiency, whose mechanism may be related to activation of the hepatorenal reflex. We previously showed that intrahepatic adenosine is involved in activation of the hepatorenal reflex to restrict urine production in both healthy rats and in rats with c
