NO(x)- is the stable decomposition product of nitric oxide (NO), which can be measured as a marker of NO production. Injection of the mice with LPS resulted in increased plasma NO(x)- concentration, reaching a peak after 8 hr (38 times basal level) and then declining slowly. Pretreatment with the adenosine agonists R-phenylisopropyladenosine (R-PIA), 5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA), 5'-(N-cyclopropyl)carboxamidoadenosine (CPCA) and N6-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA) 1 hr before LPS administration caused a dose-dependent reduction of plasma NO(x)- concentration. The rank order of inhibitory potency was NECA ≥ R-PIA > CPCA > CHA, which is characteristic of neither A1 nor A2 receptors. | Source Title: | Biochemical Pharmacology | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/29451 | ISSN: | 00062952 | DOI: | 10.1016/0006-2952(95)00111-C |
