title: The effects of 2-chloroadenosine and deoxycoformycin on the ATP level, Na-K ATPase activity in experimental brain ischemia of gerbil.
abstract: The effect of 2-chloroadenosine, stable adenosine analog, and deoxycoformycin, adenosine deaminase inhibitor on brain ATP level and Na-K ATPase activity in ischemia were studied. The brain ATP level was increased after we administered both 2-chloroadenosine and deoxycoformycin, but Na-K ATPase activity did not change after deoxycoformycin. The results suggest that 2-chloroadenosine treatment influenced both the ATP production and membrane permeability due to cerebral ischemia. Deoxycoformycin did not protect the membrane permeability, although it increased the ATP production.
