CLINICAL REVIEW Managing the acute psychotic episode

A hypoxic episode during cardiogenesis downregulates the adenosinergic system and alters the myocardial anoxic tolerance.

To what extent hypoxia alters the adenosine (ADO) system and impacts on cardiac function during embryogenesis is not known. Ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (CD39), ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73), adenosine kinase (AdK), adenosine deaminase (ADA), equilibrative (ENT1,3,4), and concentrative (CNT3) transporters and ADO receptors A1, A2A, A2B, and A3 constitute the adenosinergic system...
