(a) Relative adenosine receptors (ARs) mRNA levels determined by reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in human lymphocytes from ischemic stroke patients (n = 50) and control subjects (n = 50). (b) Density of A₁, A_2A, A_2B, and A₃ARs, expressed as Bmax, in lymphocytes derived from ischemic stroke patients (n = 50) in comparison to control subjects (n = 50). (c) Saturation curve and (d) Scatchard plot of [³H]-ZM 241385 to A_2AARs in lymphocyte membranes derived from ischemic stroke patients (n = 50) and control subjects (n = 50). Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. ** p < 0.01 vs control group.
