Role of cGMP as second messenger of adenosine in the inhibition of renin release [PDF]

, 1988
Adenosine is known to be a potent inhibitor of renin release from the kidneys. The aim of this study was to investigate the transmembrane signalling avenue that the second messenger of adenosine causes inhibition of renal renin release.

Long-term adenosine A1 receptor activation-induced sortilin expression promotes α-synuclein upregulation in dopaminergic neurons

Neural Regeneration Research, 2020
Prolonged activation of adenosine A1 receptor likely leads to damage of dopaminergic neurons and subsequent development of neurodegenerative diseases.

Characterization of the trigeminovascular actions of several adenosine A2A receptor antagonists in an in vivo rat model of migraine

The Journal of Headache and Pain, 2018
Background Migraine is considered a neurovascular disorder, but its pathophysiological mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Adenosine has been shown to increase in plasma during migraine attacks and to induce vasodilation in several blood vessels ...

Involvement of Adenosine A2a Receptor in Intraocular Pressure Decrease Induced by 2-(1-Octyn-1-yl)adenosine or 2-(6-Cyano-1-hexyn-1-yl)adenosine

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
The aim of the present study is to clarify the mechanism for the decrease in intraocular pressure by 2-alkynyladenosine derivatives in rabbits. The receptor binding analysis revealed that 2-(1-octyn-1-yl)adenosine (2-O-Ado) and 2-(6-cyano-1-hexyn-1-yl ...

Activity-dependent adenosine release may be linked to activation of Na+-K+ ATPase : an in vitro rat study [PDF]

, 2014
In the brain, extracellular adenosine increases as a result of neuronal activity. The mechanisms by which this occurs are only incompletely understood. Here we investigate the hypothesis that the Na+ influxes associated with neuronal signalling activate ...

On the basis of sex: male vs. female rat adenosine A1/A2A receptor affinity

BMC Research Notes, 2023
Objective To ensure reproducibility in biomedical research, the biological variable sex must be reported; yet a reason for using male (instead of female) rodents is seldom given.

The role of the large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel in adenosine receptor-mediated cytoprotection [PDF]

, 2009
The rat embryonic cardiomyoblast-derived H9c2 cell line is increasingly used for studies into cardioprotection, as these cells display similar properties to primary cardiomyocytes.
