Respiratory stimulant effects of adenosine in man after caffeine and enprofylline.

Abstract: In a double-blind and randomized study the respiratory stimulant effect of continuous intravenous adenosine infusion was studied after previous administration of caffeine, placebo and enprofylline in 10 healthy young volunteers. After placebo, adenosine induced an increase of minute ventilation (from 6.3 to 12.5 1 min-'), tidal volume (from 0.60 to 0.96 1), and breathing rate (from 11.0 to 14.8 min-1). Venous pCO2 fell and pH rose after adenosine. Caffeine significantly reduced the adenosine-induced changes of… Show more

“…This paper confirms the finding that adenosine is a stimulator of minute ventilation in humans [2,4,6,12] and that this effect is antagonized by theophylline [10,11]. We show that the ventilatory stimulating effect was not antagonized by metoprolol, atropine or naloxone but was enhanced after dipyridamole treatment.…”

“…At the same time, venous PCO 2 fell and pH rose after ADN infusion. 31 ADN infusion at rates of 6.1 mg/min and up to 8.5 mg/min caused a significant increase in tidal volume, with an associated significant fall in ET-CO 2 . Mean inspiratory flow rate increased and expiratory duration decreased during ADN infusion, but there was no change in inspiratory duration.…”

“…But as mentioned before it is known that exogenous adenosine stimulates ventilation by activating the carotid bodies. [8][9][10]30,32,34 Considering the results of this study it seems possible that endogenous adenosine influences the HVR and the ventilatory drive. This reaction could help the organism to fight against hypoxia as adenosine is released within tissues under hypoxic conditions, because of increased tissue-ATP-depletion as a consequence of reduced oxygen delivery.…”

“…7,8 On the other hand, binding to the A2-receptor at the carotid bodies causes an increase of respiration. [8][9][10] The physiological concentration of adenosine in blood plasma shows great interindividual differences, but normally the concentration is in the nanomolar range. 1,3,11 We examined to what extent plasma adenosine concentration in peripheral venous blood correlates with spirometry data.…”
