The influence of the way of regression on the results obtained by the receptorial responsiveness method (RRM), a procedure to estimate a change in the concentration of a pharmacological agonist near the receptor [PDF]
The receptorial responsiveness method (RRM) enables the estimation of a change in concentration of an (even degradable) agonist, near its receptor, via curve fitting to (at least) two concentration-effect (E/c) curves of a stable agonist.

Accuracy and Precision of the Receptorial Responsiveness Method (RRM) in the Quantification of A1 Adenosine Receptor Agonists [PDF]
The receptorial responsiveness method (RRM) is a procedure that is based on a simple nonlinear regression while using a model with two variables (X, Y) and (at least) one parameter to be determined (cx). The model of RRM describes the co-action of two agonists that consume the same response capacity (due to the use of the same postreceptorial signaling

Methodical Challenges and a Possible Resolution in the Assessment of Receptor Reserve for Adenosine, an Agonist with Short Half-Life [PDF]
The term receptor reserve, first introduced and used in the traditional receptor theory, is an integrative measure of response-inducing ability of the interaction between an agonist and a receptor system (consisting of a receptor and its downstream ...

FSCPX, a Chemical Widely Used as an Irreversible A1 Adenosine Receptor Antagonist, Modifies the Effect of NBTI, a Nucleoside Transport Inhibitor, by Reducing the Interstitial Adenosine Level in the Guinea Pig Atrium [PDF]
Based on in silico results, recently we have assumed that FSCPX, an irreversible A1 adenosine receptor antagonist, inhibits the action of NBTI that is apparent on E/c curves of adenosine receptor agonists.

An Advanced in Silico Modelling of the Interaction between FSCPX, an Irreversible A1 Adenosine Receptor Antagonist, and NBTI, a Nucleoside Transport Inhibitor, in the Guinea Pig Atrium [PDF]
In earlier studies, we generated concentration-response (E/c) curves with CPA (N6-cyclopentyladenosine; a selective A1 adenosine receptor agonist) or adenosine, in the presence or absence of S-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl)-6-thioinosine (NBTI, a selective ...

The interaction of AB-680, a CD73 inhibitor, with NBTI, a nucleoside transporter inhibitor, on the adenosinergic control of atrial contractility [PDF]
IntroductionIn this study, we investigated the influence of AB-680, a highly potent CD73 inhibitor, on the effect of NBTI, a nucleoside transport blocker, exerted on concentration-effect (E/c) curves generated with CPA, a relatively stable, selective A1 ...

Inflammatory mediators and angiogenic factors in choroidal neovascularization: pathogenetic interactions and therapeutic implications. [PDF]
Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a common and severe complication in heterogeneous diseases affecting the posterior segment of the eye, the most frequent being represented by age‐related macular degeneration. Although the term may suggest just a vascular pathological condition, CNV is more properly definable as an aberrant tissue invasion of ...

Receptorial and mitochondrial apoptotic pathways in normal and neoplastic human endometrium
Under normal conditions, in human endometrium, apoptotic and antiapoptotic factors play an important role in tissue homeostasis. Abnormalities of apoptosis, a process implicated in several events in the reproductive organs, may contribute to neoplastic ...
