Adenosine metabolism in small coronary arteries of pig.
Abstract
Adenosine preferentially relaxes small coronary arteries over large ones, and small bovine coronary arteries are also known to have a higher density of adenosine receptors. Here we report a possible role of adenosine metabolism in this process. Subcellular fractions, from right coronary artery (lumen diameter of 2-3 mm) of pig designated as large coronary artery and its subsequent branches (lumen diameter of 0.5-1 mm) as small coronary …
