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

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

Human rTNF-alpha (greater than or equal to U/ml) decreased PMN nondirected and directed migration to FMLP to approximately 50% of control. Adenosine (100 microM) almost completely restored hrTNF-inhibited migration (nondirected from 54 to 92% and directed migration to from 54

Much evidence has accumulated supporting the hypothesis that the purine nucleoside adenosine may indeed function as a neuromodulator in the mammalian retina, but to date no reports have directly illustrated a physiological role for this nucleoside. In other regions of
