JD Pearson, JL Gordon - Annual review of physiology, 1985 - annualreviews.org
The vasoactive properties of circulating adenosine and ATP were first recogн nized half a
century ago (22, 23), although it is only in the last decade that the physiological importance
of these properties and the classification of puriн noceptor-mediated vasoregulation have
been investigated in detail (for reviews see 10, 13). As a result of these studies, it became
clear that it is also important to understand the mechanisms by which purines are released
to the extracellular medium, and the manner in which their effects may be regulated by …
