abstract：:Adenosine is an important autocoid, exerting its physiological effects on the human body by activation of four different G-protein-coupled-receptors (GPCRs) classified as A(1), A(2A), A(2B), and A(3). These receptors are coupled to secondary messenger systems including adenylate cyclase, inositol phosphate metabolism,...
