Adenosine receptors
Receptor	Gene	Mechanism	Effects	Agonists	Antagonists
A₁	ADORA1	G_i/o → cAMP↑/↓ Inhibition ↓ vesicle release Bronchoconstriction	decrease heart rate	N6-Cyclopentyladenosine Adenosine CCPA 2'-MeCCPA GR 79236 SDZ WAG 994	Caffeine theophylline 8-Cyclopentyl-1,3-dimethylxanthine (CPX) 8-Cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX) 8-Phenyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine PSB 36
A_2A	ADORA2A	G_s → cAMP↑	coronary artery vasodilatation Decreased dopaminergic activity in CNS	ATL-146e CGS-21680 Regadenoson Adenosine	Caffeine theophylline istradefylline SCH-58261 SCH-442,416 ZM-241,385
A_2B	ADORA2B	G_s → cAMP↑ Also recently discovered A_2B has Gq → DAG and IP3 → Release calcium → activate calmodulin → activate myosin light chain kinase → phosphrylate myosin light chain → myosin light chain plus actin → bronchoconstriction	bronchospasm	5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine BAY 60–6583 Adenosine LUF-5835 LUF-5845	theophylline Caffeine CVT-6883 MRS-1706 MRS-1754 PSB-603 PSB-0788 PSB-1115

Famous quotes containing the words comparison of and/or comparison:

“We teach boys to be such men as we are. We do not teach them to aspire to be all they can. We do not give them a training as if we believed in their noble nature. We scarce educate their bodies. We do not train the eye and the hand. We exercise their understandings to the apprehension and comparison of some facts, to a skill in numbers, in words; we aim to make accountants, attorneys, engineers; but not to make able, earnest, great- hearted men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“In comparison to the French Revolution, the American Revolution has come to seem a parochial and rather dull event. This, despite the fact that the American Revolution was successful—realizing the purposes of the revolutionaries and establishing a durable political regime—while the French Revolution was a resounding failure, devouring its own children and leading to an imperial despotism, followed by an eventual restoration of the monarchy.”
—Irving Kristol (b. 1920)
