## Abstract In this study, we examined the transport mechanisms for guanine and guanosine in rat neurons and astrocytes, and compared their characteristics. In the both types of cell, the uptake of [^3^H]guanine and [^3^H]guanosine was timeβ, temperatureβ, and concentrationβdependent, and Na^+^βind

Metabolic fate of [8-14C]adenosine was studied in primary cultures of either astrocytes or neurons from the mouse brain. In astrocytes the main metabolic route was the formation of nucleotides. Thus, synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) amounted to about 0.2 nmol X min-1 X mg-1 protein. The dea
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
