Title: Influence of prostaglandins upon adenosine release and of adenosine upon prostaglandin release in the isolated rabbit heart. Author: Zehl U, Ritter C, Förster W. Journal: Acta Biol Med Ger; 1976; 35(11):K77-K82. PubMed ID: 1022127. Abstract: Prostaglandin (PG) E1 with its high effect of coronary dilation causes a distinct increase in the adenosine release from the isolated rabbit heart (Langendorff technique). Compared to this, an equal dose of PGF2alpha increases the release of adenosine only to a small extent. Conversely, application of adenosine results in a considerable release of PG-like substances from the rabbit heart in vitro. The present investigations support the hypothesis that, apart from adenosine, PG's too, are involved in coronary regulation as modulators.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
