TLDR
The results suggest that the activation and inhibition of platelet adenylatecyclase by adenosine or 2-chloroadenosine are independent processes mediated by different components of a receptor-adenylate cyclase complex.

Two distinct adenosine-sensitive sites on adenylate cyclase

TL;DR: Comparison of data indicates that adenosine-reactive "P" and "R" sites are present generally and are explained by the presence of both sites on a single adenylate cyclase.

Inhibition of adenylate cyclase by adenosine analogues in preparations of broken and intact human platelets. Evidence for the unidirectional control of platelet function by cyclic AMP.

TL;DR: The results show that cyclic AMP plays no significant role in the responses of platelets to aggregating agents in the absence of compounds that increase the platelet cyclicAMP concentration above the resting value.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of adenylate cyclase by adenosine.

TL;DR: A unitary model is proposed which explains both the stimulatory and inhibitory effects of low concentrations of adenosine on adenylate cyclase as well as the effects of methyl xanthines on cyclic AMPs in many tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of ATP on platelets: evidence against the central role of released ADP in primary aggregation.

TL;DR: It is concluded that adrenaline, thrombin, 5HT, and vasopressin each can induce primary aggregation of human platelets by a mechanism independent of extracellular ADP.

Mechanism of action of dipyridamole

TL;DR: The antithrombotic effects of dipyridamole in a baboon model of arterial thromboembolism are unaffected by simultaneous administration of dazoxiben, a specific thromboxane synthetase inhibitor, but are optimally potentiated by the simultaneous addition of aspirin in doses of 20 mg/kg/day.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent

TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.
Journal Article

A simple, sensitive method for the assay of adenyl cyclase.

TL;DR: The purity of the nucleotide has been assessed enzymatically, by utilizing a purified cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, and the method made possible the measurement of enzyme activities in tissue weighing less than 1 mg.

The Effect of Adenosine and Adenine Nucleotides on the Cyclic Adenosine 3',5'-Phosphate Content of Guinea Pig Cerebral Cortex Slices

TL;DR: Changes in the tissue compartmentation of adenine nucleotides probably play a major role in producing the previously observed increase of cyclic adenosine 39,59-phosphate during electrical stimulation of slices.
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence on platelet aggregation of drugs that affect the accumulation of adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate in platelets.

TL;DR: Significant positive correlations were found between the radioactivity of 3':5'-cyclic AMP in platelets measured at the time of addition of the aggregating agent (ADP) and the extent to which the aggregation was inhibited.
