In a JNeurosci paper, Tian-Ming Gao and colleagues, from Southern Medical University, explored how adenosine triphosphate ...

Scientists found that reduced ATP signaling in the hippocampus can trigger both depression and anxiety in mice. Lower ATP levels and a drop in connexin 43 expression appeared to make stressed animals ...

Adenosine 5′-triphosphate, abbreviated ATP and usually expressed without the 5′-, is an important “energy molecule” found in all life forms. Specifically, it is a coenzyme that works with enzymes such ...

Purines are heterocyclic aromatic molecules that are among the oldest and most influential biochemical compounds in evolutionary history. 1 The purine nucleotide adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the ...

In the ED, adenosine is used to terminate supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs). It is also used by cardiologists for pharmacologic stress testing. Paroxysmal SVT has a prevalence of around 2.25 per ...

Machines running on human energy? Yes, it can happen, according to Dan Nicolau, Jr. from the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of California. Nicolau and his colleagues successfully ...

Adenosine is a short-acting endogenous molecule that is a purine nucleoside. The half-life is 6 seconds. Adenosine receptor activation results in multiple different actions depending on the location.

The effect of Adenosine triphosphate in inhibiting glycolysis in mitochondrial extracts from pea cotyledons was studied. It was possible to show a direct inhibition of adenosine triphosphate on ...

LONDON, UK - Late recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is not reduced in patients whose pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) treatment incorporates the addition of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), according ...
