Recent studies have demonstrated that three membrane-permeant A(1) receptor antagonists reduced infarct size in a model of ischemia followed by brief reperfusion. However, it was not determined whether cardioprotection was mediated by nonspecific intracellular effects of these highly lipophilic drugs
Chronic treatment of rats with 90 microg/kg/day DPSPX (1,3-dipropyl-8-sulphophenylxanthine) during seven days leads to a hypertensive state which is characterized by marked morphological changes of the blood vessel walls as well as by important functional alterations. While the angiotensin-converting enzyme
The purpose of this study was to investigate in vivo the effects of modulating the adenosine system on endotoxin-induced release of cytokines and changes in heart performance and neurohumoral status in early, profound endotoxemia in rats. Time/pressure variables of heart
The extracellular "cAMP-adenosine pathway" refers to the local production of adenosine mediated by cAMP egress into the extracellular space, conversion of cAMP to AMP by ectophosphodiesterase, and the metabolism of AMP to adenosine by ecto-5'-nucleotidase. The goal of this study

Treatment of Wistar rats for 7 days with 1,3-dipropyl-8-sulfophenylxanthine (DPSPX), an antagonist of adenosine receptors, induces long-lasting hypertension associated with marked changes in vascular structure and reactivity and renin-angiotensin system activation. This study aimed at evaluating the role of oxidative
