This book provides valuable information for investigators interested in the signaling and regulatory functions of adenosine and the adenine nucleotides. Topics covered in this comprehensive volume include the historical development of research on adenosine and adenosine triphosphate; various aspects of the formation, metabolism, release, transport, and receptors for endogenous adenosine and the adenosine triphosphate; functions of purines at the cellular level; the role of adenosine in the regulation of flow in different vascular beds; and angiogenesis. The book also addresses the purinergic regulation of the cardiac, renal, gastro-intestinal, and central nervous system, as well as potential therapeutic avenues for purine use. The book will be valuable to physiologists, pharmacologists, and other basic and clinical scientists interested in updating their knowledge of the expanding biological roles of these substances.

The Regulation of Cerebral Blood Flow presents a comprehensive review of recent literature on the mechanisms by which cerebral blood flow is matched to the metabolic requirements of the brain. Topics covered include techniques for monitoring cerebral blood flow; the intrinsic properties of cerebral vascular smooth muscle fibers; the neuronal regulation of vascular tone; metabolic factors released by brain cells; and changes in cerebral blood flow regulation in the neonate and aged, diabetics, hypertensives, and migraineurs. The book will benefit neurologists, neurosurgeons, physiologists, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and others interested in this critical area of vascular function.
