Abstract
Following microinjection of Ado (1 ng/60 nl) into AP, MAP, HR and RSNA were decreased from 13.76±0.46 kPa, 356.28±4.25 bpm and 100±0% to 11.23±0.49 kPa (P<0.001), 336.91±5.23 bpm (P<0.01) and 70.95±5.19% (P<0.001), respectively; 8-phenyltheophylline (150 #mu#g/kg, 0.2 ml, iv), a nonselective adenosine receptor antagonist, and 8-cyclopentyl-1, 3-dipropylxanthine (500 #mu#g/kg, 0.2 ml, iv), a selective A_(1) adenosine receptor antagonist, blocked the inhibitory effect of Ado completely; and glibenclamide (5 mg/kg, 0.2 ml, iv), a blocker of ATP-sensitive potassium channel, also abolished the effect of Ado.
