Caffeine, a nonselective adenosine receptor antagonist, 7-methyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine, a purported A2 selective antagonist and a 1,3-dipropyl-8-phenylxanthine amine congener (XAC), an A1 selective antagonist, were evaluated for their in vivo selectivity at A1 vs. A2 adenosine receptors. Blockade of the negative chronotropic

Presumptive astrocytes isolated from 10-day white Leghorn chick embryos, Factor VIII-positive human brain capillary endothelial cells, meningeal fibroblasts from 10-day chick embryos, Swiss mouse 3T3 cells, and human astrocytoma cell lines, SKMG-1 and U373, were rendered quiescent when placed in

The effects of the adenosine A1 agonist N6-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA) on MPTP-induced dopamine (DA) depletion in the striatum of C57BL/6 mice were studied. Twenty hours after a single injection of MPTP (30 mg/kg, s.c.), the toxin caused 62% depletion of striatal
The reactivity of retinal arterioles and venules to exogenous and endogenous adenosine was investigated in the newborn piglet eye in vivo. The retinal microcirculation of isoflurane-anesthetized newborn pigs was observed at 310x using videomicroscopy, and changes in the diameter of
Both extracellular guanosine and adenosine stimulated astrocyte proliferation in vitro and increased intracellular cAMP 6-fold within 2 min. The effects of both guanosine and adenosine on proliferation and cAMP levels were inhibited by antagonists of adenosine A2 receptors but augmented
