Exploration of adenosine mechanism revealed adenosine receptors as a potentially useful target of therapy in RA.

Caffeine and other methylxanthines can block the effects of adenosine and should be avoided 24 hours prior to use for stress testing. Also, persantine is similar in mechanism of action ...

Second, we are investigating how adenosine receptor stimulation impacts psychostimulant-induced behaviors (i.e. drug taking and relapse). Third, we are analyzing the mechanisms by which adenosine and ...

Via this mechanism, platelet aggregation is inhibited in response to various stimuli such as platelet activating factor (PAF), collagen and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Aspirin inhibits platelet ...

The potential mechanisms of caffeine’s action include its role as an adenosine receptor antagonist that reverses the tonic inhibitory influence of adenosine in the central nervous system. By ...
