Adenosine 3mg/mL; soln for IV inj; preservative-free. Adenosine slows conduction time through the A-V node, can interrupt the reentry pathways through the A-V node, and can restore normal sinus rhythm ...

Naturally rewarding stimuli (i.e. food, sex, etc) increase the activity of dopamine cells in the mesocorticolimbic dopamine system causing increased dopamine release in brain areas such as the nucleus ...

ATP, ADP and other nucleotides can be released by stressed or apoptotic cells into the extracellular environment. They function as autocrine and paracrine signalling molecules by activating ...

The coffee paradox in adenosine-mediated antidepressant action. Depression (left) and coffee consumption (right) are both linked through adenosine signaling (center), creating a pharmacological ...
