| Abstract | 1. The present study investigated the contribution of the A2A adenosine receptor subtype to the functional hyperaemia response evoked by muscle contraction in anaesthetized cats when muscle blood flow was limited. 2. Application of a stenosis reduced the hindlimb blood flow at rest from 9.67 +/- 1.80 to 5.53 +/- 0.91 ml min(-1) (kg body mass)(-1) and during muscle contraction from 36.80 +/- 2.55 to 11.11 +/- 1.19 ml min(-1) (kg body mass)(-1) (P < 0.001). The force produced by the extensor digitorum longus and tibialis anterior (EDL-TA) muscle groups was also reduced, from 9.66 +/- 0.56 to 4.10 +/- 0.4 N (kg muscle mass)(-1) (P < 0.01). 3. The selective A2A adenosine receptor antagonist ZM241385 (3 mg kg(-1), I.V.) had no effect upon the hindlimb vascular conductance or muscle contraction responses in the presence of the flow-limiting stenosis. 4. In contrast, in the absence of the flow restriction the vascular conductance response was reduced by 27.5 +/- 5.0% (P < 0.05), whilst the isometric force produced by the EDL-TA muscle group was unaffected (pre- vs. post-contraction, 5.8 +/- 0.8 vs. 4.6 +/- 1.0 N (kg muscle mass)(-1) contraction). Oxygen consumption by the contracting hindlimb muscles was maintained (1.71 +/- 0.25 vs. 1.69 +/- 0.26 ml min(-1) (kg body mass)(-1)) by an increase in the oxygen extraction (51.9 +/- 4.9 vs. 66.2 +/- 6.1%; P< 0.01). 5. These results confirm previous data showing that adenosine, acting at the A2A receptor subtype, can contribute up to 30% of the functional hyperaemia response in the hindlimb of anaesthetized cats under free flow conditions. However, when blood flow is limited by a stenosis, antagonism of the A2A adenosine receptor does not affect functional hyperaemia. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
