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 cGMP on adenosine A1 receptor-mediated inhibition of synaptic transmission at the hippocampus

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2016
Both adenosine A1 receptor and cGMP inhibit synaptic transmission at the hippocampus and recently it was found that A1 receptor increased cGMP levels in hippocampus, but the role of cGMP on A1 receptor-mediated inhibition of synaptic transmission remains

Electroacupuncture-induced neuroprotection against focal cerebral ischemia in the rat is mediated by adenosine A1 receptors

Neural Regeneration Research, 2017
The activation of adenosine A1 receptors is important for protecting against ischemic brain injury and pretreatment with electroacupuncture has been shown to mitigate ischemic brain insult.

Anti-inflammatory preconditioning by agonists of adenosine A1 receptor. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
BackgroundAdenosine levels rise during inflammation and modulate inflammatory responses by engaging with four different G protein-coupled receptors. It is suggested that adenosine exhibits pro-inflammatory effects through its A(1) receptor (A(1)R), and ...

Central adenosinergic system and its clinical importance

Psychiatry and Clinical Psychopharmacology, 2021
Adenosine is a neuromodulator widely distributed throughout the body. Since it is continuously synthesized, it can be concluded that there is a basal adenosinergic tonus, which has inhibitory effects in general.

5'-Chloro-5'-deoxy-(±)-ENBA, a Potent and Selective Adenosine A1 Receptor Agonist, Alleviates Neuropathic Pain in Mice Through Functional Glial and Microglial Changes without Affecting Motor or Cardiovascular Functions

Molecules, 2012
This study was undertaken in order to investigate the effect of chronic treatment with 5′-chloro-5′-deoxy-(±)-ENBA, a potent and highly selective agonist of human adenosine A1 receptor, on thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical ...

Anticonvulsant activity of B2, an adenosine analog, on chemical convulsant-induced seizures. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. However, approximately one-third of epilepsy patients still suffer from uncontrolled seizures. Effective treatments for epilepsy are yet to be developed. N (6)-(3-methoxyl-4-

Adenosine A1 Receptor Agonist 2-chloro-N6-cyclopentyladenosine and Hippocampal Excitability During Brain Development in Rats

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
Objective: The adenosinergic system may influence excitability in the brain. Endogenous and exogenous adenosine has anticonvulsant activity presumably by activating A1 receptors.

Targeting Adenosine A2b Receptor Promotes Penile Rehabilitation of Refractory Erectile Dysfunction

Advanced Science
The mechanisms of adenosine and specific adenosine receptor subtypes in promoting penile rehabilitation remain unclear. Single‐cell RNA sequencing of human corpus cavernosum,  adenosine deaminase (ADA) and adenosine receptors knock‐out mice (ADA−/−, A1−/−

Adenosine Receptor Agonists Modulate Visceral Hyperalgesia in the Rat

Gut and Liver, 2008
Background/Aims: Adenosine is an endogenous modulator of nociception. Its role in visceral nociception, particularly in visceral hyperalgesia, has not been studied.
