Activity-dependent adenosine release may be linked to activation of Na(+)-K(+) ATPase: an in vitro rat study.
In the brain, extracellular adenosine increases as a result of neuronal activity. The mechanisms by which this occurs are only incompletely understood. Here we investigate the hypothesis that the Na(+) influxes associated with neuronal signalling activate the Na(+)-K(+) ATPase which, by consuming AT...
