Pharmacological modifications of the stretch-induced effects on ventricular fibrillation in perfused rabbit hearts.

9 Sep 2009 Stretch induces modifications in myocardial electrical and mechanical activity. Besides the effects of substances that block the stretch-activated channels, other substances could modulate the effects of stretch through different mechanisms that ... Read more...

Adenosine A2A receptors enable the synaptic effects of cannabinoid CB1 receptors in the rodent striatum.

15 Jul 2009 Adenosine A(2A), cannabinoid CB(1) and metabotropic glutamate 5 (mGlu(5)) receptors are all highly expressed in the striatum. The aim of the present work was to investigate whether, and by which mechanisms, the above receptors interact in the ... Read more...

Inhibition of renal Na+-ATPase activity by inosine is mediated by A1 receptor-induced inhibition of the cAMP signaling pathway.

10 Jul 2009 We have previously demonstrated that adenosine is deaminated to inosine in the isolated basolateral membrane (BLM) of kidney proximal tubules. This work investigates the possible effect of inosine on proximal tubule Na(+)-ATPase activity. Inosine ... Read more...
