Suggests adenosine counters beta-adrenergic calcium current enhancement in ventricular myocytes; leaves open applicability to human cardiac electrophysiology.
Adenosine decreases calcium current under beta-adrenergic stimulation in guinea pig ventricular cells primarily by reducing channel availability.
Kato et al. (1990) studied this question.
