Abstract

The uptake of adenosine is studied in microvessels isolated from a bovine cortex. The KM value for adenosine uptake is 1.92 microM and the Vmax is 1.93 picomole/mg protein/10 min. This high affinity uptake system is very sensitive to inhibition by dipyridamole and papaverine. The uptake of adenosine by microvessels is also inhibited by CuCl2 and by high concentration (2 mM) of adenine nucleotides. Using a series of four xanthines is observed that the adenosine uptake system is most inhibited by 3-methyl-l-(5'-oxohexyl)-7-propylxanthine and the least by caffeine. Theophylline causes a stimulation of adenosine uptake by microvessels. The results obtained agree with the existence of the nucleoside transport system associated with the blood-brain barrier, as previously observed by in vivo studies and experiments with rat brain capillaries.
