| Abstract | Adenosine exerts cardioprotective effects on the ischaemic myocardium. The production of adenosine in the ischaemic myocardium is attributed primarily to the enzymatic dephosphorylation of adenosine 5′-monophosphate (AMP) by 5′-nucleotidase. We determined the activity of 5′-nucleotidase in rat hearts. The objective of the study was to determine the effects of ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel antagonists (glibenclamide and 5-hydroxydecanoate) on the production of adenosine, by use of a flexibly mounted microdialysis technique. Rats were anaesthetized and the microdialysis probe was implanted in the left ventricular myocardium, followed by perfusion with Tyrode solution. The baseline level of dialysate adenosine was 0.51±0.09 μM (n=16). Introduction of AMP (100 μM) through the probe increased the dialysate adenosine markedly to 9.79±0.43 μM (n=12, P<0.001 vs baseline), and this increase was inhibited by the ecto-5′-nucleotidase inhibitor, α,β-methyleneadenosine 5′-diphosphate (100 μM), to 0.76±0.12 μM (n=8). Thus, the dialysate adenosine noted during the perfusion of AMP originated from dephosphorylation of AMP by ecto-5′-nucleotidase, and the dialysate level of adenosine attained reflects the ecto-5′-nucleotidase activity in the tissue in situ. Glibenclamide (0.1–100 μM) decreased the adenosine concentration measured during the perfusion of AMP (100 μM) in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50=10.5 μM). In contrast, 5-hydroxydecanoate (10–100 μM) did not affect the concentrations of dialysate adenosine, measured in the presence of AMP (100 μM). These results suggest that glibenclamide inhibits the activity of endogenous ecto-5′-nucleotidase and decreases the concentration of adenosine in the interstitial space of rat ventricular muscles in situ. |

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.
