Sleep-wake sensitive mechanisms of adenosine release in the basal forebrain of rodents : an in vitro study [PDF]
, 2013 Adenosine acting in the basal forebrain is a key mediator of sleep homeostasis. Extracellular adenosine concentrations increase during wakefulness, especially during prolonged wakefulness and lead to increased sleep pressure and subsequent rebound sleep.

Regulation of Mitochondrial Dynamics by Proteolytic Processing and Protein Turnover
Antioxidants, 2018 The mitochondrial network is a dynamic organization within eukaryotic cells that participates in a variety of essential cellular processes, such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis, central metabolism, apoptosis and inflammation.

Toxicity and stability of sodium cyanide in fresh water fish Nile tilapia
Water Science, 2014 An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effect of 0.129 NaCN mg/l for 28 days on the behavior of tilapia and the activities of adenosine triphosphatases enzyme (Na+/K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+-ATPase) within gill filaments, liver and muscles.

Wakefulness affects synaptic and network activity by increasing extracellular astrocyte-derived adenosine [PDF]
, 2012 Loss of sleep causes an increase in sleep drive and deficits in hippocampal-dependent memory. Both of these responses are thought to require activation of adenosine A1 receptors (adorA1Rs) and release of transmitter molecules including ATP, which is ...

Adenosine Triphosphatase Activity of Tritrichomonas foetus [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1979 Homogenates of Tritrichomonas foetus exhibited a Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity, with a pH optimum in Tris buffers of 8.2 to 8.3. The activity was not sensitive to oxygen. At high concentrations, quercetin and 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan inhibited ATPase activity in the cytoplasmic extract by 20 and 70%, respectively ...

Intracellular ATP influences synaptic plasticity in area CA1 of rat hippocampus via metabolism to adenosine and activity-dependent activation of adenosine A1 receptors [PDF]
, 2011 The extent to which brain slices reflect the energetic status of the in vivo brain has been a subject of debate. We addressed this issue to investigate the recovery of energetic parameters and adenine nucleotides in rat hippocampal slices and the ...
