Adenosine is a nucleoside that is particularly interesting to many scientific and clinical
communities as it has important physiological and pathophysiological roles in the kidney.
The distribution of adenosine receptors has only recently been elucidated; therefore it is
likely that more biological roles of this nucleoside will be unveiled in the near future. Since
the discovery of the involvement of adenosine in renal vasoconstriction and regulation of
local renin production, further evidence has shown that adenosine signaling is also involved …
