| Abstract | Adenosine 2a (A2a) receptor agonists elicit persistent increases in phrenic nerve activity by transactivating the neurotrophin receptor, TrkB, near phrenic motoneurons. Our working model proposes that A2a receptor-mediated TrkB receptor activation strengthens glutamatergic synapses onto phrenic motoneurons. Activation of glutamate N-methyl d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors has been implicated in other models of phrenic motor plasticity. Thus we hypothesized that NMDA receptor activation also would contribute to A2a receptor-mediated phrenic motor facilitation. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized with urethane, mechanically ventilated, neuromuscularly paralyzed, and bilaterally vagotomized. The A2a receptor agonist CGS-21680 and the NMDA receptor-channel blocker MK-801 were administered intrathecally over the C4 spinal segment. Phrenic nerve activity was recorded before, during, and after drug administration. MK-801 (concentration range 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, and 100 microM) was administered 30 min before CGS-21680 (50 microM). MK-801 dose-dependently blocked A2a receptor-mediated phrenic motor facilitation. When administered at 60 min post-CGS-21680, MK-801 prevented further increases in phrenic nerve activity compared with the CGS-21680 alone (CGS-21680 alone at 120 min: 114 +/- 19%; CGS-21680 and MK-801 at 60 min post-CGS-21680: 61 +/- 11%, above baseline, P < 0.05) but did not return phrenic motor output to baseline values. Our data suggest that NMDA receptor activation is necessary for de novo A2a receptor-mediated phrenic motor facilitation and that the maintenance of preexisting phrenic motor facilitation does not involve NMDA receptor-dependent mechanisms. |

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.
