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

## Abstract Adenosine plays a role in regulating the contractile function of the heart. This includes a positive ionotropic action via the adenosine A~2A~ receptor (A~2A~R) and an inhibition of Ξ²~1~βadrenergic receptorβinduced ionotropy (antiadrenergic action) via the adenosine A~1~ receptor (A~1~R
Previous investigations suggest that the expression of K+ channels in cultured rat microglia is related to the activation status of these cells. Both, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and agents that raise intracellular cyclic AMP have been shown to inhibit microglial proliferation. LPS also regulates the m
## Abstract In the rat brain, a heteromeric association between adenosine A~1~ and purinergic P2Y~1~ receptors has been demonstrated. It is suggested that this association plays an important role in the control of purineβmediated responses during pathophysiological conditions. Recently, we have dem
