Comparison of Subtypes

Adenosine receptors
Receptor Gene Mechanism Effects Agonists Antagonists
A1 ADORA1 Gi/o → cAMP↑/↓
  • Inhibition
    • ↓ vesicle release
  • Bronchoconstriction
  • decrease heart rate
  • N6-Cyclopentyladenosine
  • Adenosine
  • CCPA
  • 2'-MeCCPA
  • GR 79236
  • SDZ WAG 994
  • Caffeine
  • theophylline

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)

    “Away with the cant of “Measures, not men!”Mthe idle supposition that it is the harness and not the horses that draw the chariot along. No, Sir, if the comparison must be made, if the distinction must be taken, men are everything, measures comparatively nothing.”
    —George Canning (1770–1827)
