    Notes: Summary To investigate the roles of adenosine A1 and A2 receptors in the regulation of aldosterone production, we examined the effects of adenosine and adenosine agonists (N6-cyclohexyl adenosine; selective adenosine A1 receptor agonist and 5′-N-ethylcarboxamine adenosine; selective adenosine A2 receptor agonist) on aldosterone and cyclic AMP production in rat adrenal capsular cells. Neither adenosine nor 5′-N-ethylcarboxamine adenosine caused significant effects on basal aldosterone or cyclic AMP production. Also, adenosine (10−3M) showed no consistent effects on aldosterone and cyclic AMP production induced by ACTH. On the other hand, N6-cyclohexyl adenosine exhibited a significant inhibition of basal aldosterone and cyclic AMP production at doses of 10−4 M and 10−3 M; furthermore, 10−3 M N6-cyclohexyl adenosine inhibited aldosterone and cyclic AMP production stimulated by ACTH. These results suggest that adenosine A1 receptors are coupled to and inhibit adenylate cyclase and may be involved in the inhibition of aldosterone production.

    Plasma adenosine concentrations are elevated in Dahl salt-sensitive rats (1995)
    Springer
    Cellular and molecular life sciences 51 (1995), S. 227-229 
    Details
    ISSN: 1420-9071
    Keywords: Adenosine ; Dahl salt-sensitive rats ; high-performance liquid chromatography ; hypertension

    Notes: Abstract We measured plasma levels of adenosine in Dahl salt-sensitive rats (DS) and Dahl salt-resistant rats (DR) to examine the potential role of adenosine in cardiovascular regulation in this type of hypertension. Plasma adenosine concentrations were significantly higher in DS than in DR. The NaCl content in the diet did not affect plasma adenosine concentration in either DS or DR. Significant positive correlation was found between adenosine concentrations and systolic blood pressure when the data for DS and DR were analyzed together. These results suggest that adenosine may play an important role in the pathophysiology of hypertension in DS.

    Renal and hormonal effects of alpha1-adrenoceptor blockade by bunazosin in essential hypertension (1989)
    Springer
    European journal of clinical pharmacology 36 (1989), S. 575-578 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1041
    Keywords: bunazosin ; hypertension ; alpha1-adrenoceptor blocker ; blood pressure ; renal blood flow ; renal function ; renin ; aldosterone ; atrial natriuretic peptide

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology , Medicine
    Notes: Summary The renal and hormonal effects of the α1-adrenoceptor blocker bunazosin were examined in 6 patients with essential hypertension. Oral bunazosin for 4 to 12 weeks significantly decreased mean blood pressure by 10%, increased effective renal blood flow and creatinine clearance by 34% and 37%, respectively, the plasma norepinephrine concentration was elevated by 60%, and the plasma atrial natriuretic peptide level was lowered by 22%. The plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration were unchanged. Thus, a moderate reduction in blood pressure was produced by bunazosin treatment while maintaining renal perfusion.
