Platelets, 2018 Signaling mediated by purines is a widespread mechanism of cell–cell communication related to vasomotor responses and the control of platelet function in the vascular system. However, little is known about the involvement of this signaling as well as the

The role of adenosine triphosphate in migraine
Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 1989 Classical migraine is associated with two distinct phases; an initial vasoconstriction followed by vasodilatation. The "purinergic" hypothesis for migraine was originally put forward in 1981 as a basis for the reactive hyperaemia and pain during the headache phase.

Purinergic mechanosensory transduction and visceral pain [PDF]
, 2009 In this review, evidence is presented to support the hypothesis that mechanosensory transduction occurs in tubes and sacs and can initiate visceral pain.

Mitochondrial transplantation strategies as potential therapeutics for central nervous system trauma
Neural Regeneration Research, 2018 Mitochondria are essential cellular organelles critical for generating adenosine triphosphate for cellular homeostasis, as well as various mechanisms that can lead to both necrosis and apoptosis. The field of “mitochondrial medicine” is emerging in which

Purinergic signalling: past, present and future [PDF]
, 2009 The discovery of non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic neurotransmission in the gut and bladder in the early 1960's is described as well as the identification of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) as a transmitter in these nerves in the early 1970's.

Nucleotides: Structure and Properties [PDF]
, 2005 Nucleotides consist of a nitrogen-containing base, a five-carbon sugar, and one or more phosphate groups. Cells contain many types of nucleotides, which play a central role in a wide variety of cellular processes, including metabolic regulation and the ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study elucidates the critical role of Rictor in macrophage activation in acute antibody‐mediated rejection (ABMR). Rictor increases K48‐linked ubiquitination of p65 by upregulating E3 ubiquitin ligase SOCS1, inhibiting transcriptional levels of NLRP3 and inflammasome activation.

Antidipsogenic effects of central adenosine-5'-triphosphate
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2009 Besides other physiological functions, adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) is also a neurotransmitter that acts on purinergic receptors. In spite of the presence of purinergic receptors in forebrain areas involved with fluid-electrolyte balance, the effect ...

Urinary ATP as an indicator of infection and inflammation of the urinary tract in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) is a neurotransmitter and inflammatory cytokine implicated in the pathophysiology of lower urinary tract disease. ATP additionally reflects microbial biomass thus has potential as a surrogate marker of urinary
