Adenosine A2AReceptors Regulate the Extracellular Accumulation of Excitatory Amino Acids upon Metabolic Dysfunction in Chick Cultured Retinal Cells

The role of endogenous extracellular adenosine as a tonic modulator of the extracellular accumulation of excitatory amino acids (glutamate and aspartate) caused by metabolic inhibition was investigated in cultured retinal cells. The selective adenosine A2Areceptor antagonist, 4-[2-[7-amino-2-(2-fury...
