Adenosine delivered by microdialysis into the interstitial fluid of nonischemic rabbit hippocampus induces release of taurine in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting involvement of additional mechanisms besides the already known A2-receptor-induced release. Taurine can be anticipated to have protective effects in the hippocampus as well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
