Demonstration of adenylate cyclase coupled adenosine receptors in guinea pig ventricular membranes.

abstract：:Glucocorticoids are used as a treatment for a variety of conditions and hypertension is a well-recognized side effect of their use. The mechanism of glucocorticoid-induced hypertension is incompletely understood and has traditionally been attributed to promiscuous activation of the mineralocorticoid receptor by cortis...
