Computerized Modeling of Adenosine Triphosphate, Adenosine Triarsenate and Adenosine Trivanadate [PDF]
Computerized molecular models of adenosine triphosphate, adenosine tri-arsenate and adenosine trivanadate have been generated using the molecular mechanics technique. The analysis of structural parameters indicated that, at least theoretically, adenosine

Polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin gallate-induced cardioprotection may attenuate ischemia-reperfusion injury through adenosine receptor activation: a preliminary study [PDF]
BackgroundThe activation of guanine nucleotide binding protein-coupled receptors, such as adenosine receptor (ADR) and opioid receptor (OPR), protects the heart against ischemia and reperfusion injury. We hypothesized that ADR or OPR might be involved in

CD73's Potential as an Immunotherapy Target in Gastrointestinal Cancers
CD73, a cell surface 5′nucleotidase that generates adenosine, has emerged as an attractive therapeutic target for reprogramming cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment to dampen antitumor immune cell evasion. Decades of studies have paved the way for

Adenosine signaling: Optimal target for gastric cancer immunotherapy
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancy and leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Due to asymptomatic or only nonspecific early symptoms, GC patients are usually in the advanced stage at first diagnosis and miss the best ...

Purinergic Regulation of Food and Fat Intakes in Broiler’s Central Nervous System [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Adenosine has many physiological roles in the brain, and in rodents, it changes food intake when applied centrally. OBJECTIVES: We investigated the effect of central injection of the purine molecule adenosine on both food and fat intakes in ...

Adenosinergic Signaling as a Key Modulator of the Glioma Microenvironment and Reactive Astrocytes
Astrocytes are numerous glial cells of the central nervous system (CNS) and play important roles in brain homeostasis. These cells can directly communicate with neurons by releasing gliotransmitters, such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and glutamate ...
