May attenuate A1-mediated negative inotropy via A2A in rat hearts; leaves open translation to human physiology.
Does DPMA alter AdoA1R-mediated negative inotropic responses in isolated rat hearts?
Stimulation of the adenosine A2A receptor attenuates A1 receptor-dependent reductions in cardiac inotropic state via adenylyl cyclase activation.
