Effect of the inhibition of adenosine kinase and adenosine deaminase on min adenosine content of coronary effluent from young adult and aged rat hearts. After control 1 min coronary effluent samples were obtained, EHNA (50 μM) and iodotubercidin (ITC;2 μM) and were administered to the aortic perfusate to block adenosine deaminase and adenosine kinase, respectively. At 5 min, 1-min samples were again collected. Samples were analyzed with HPLC as described in the text. Values are means ± SE for 17 young and 14 aged hearts. * Mean is significantly different from the agent-free value (P<0.05). † Mean is significantly different from the inhibitor-treated young hearts (P<0.05).
