P2 receptors: theoretical background for the use in clinical practice.
Here we review the results of physiological, pharmacological, and pathophysiological studies of ATP receptors, P2 type receptors. Characteristics of two families of P2 receptors (P2X and P2Y) are presented and the possibility of using preparations affecting these receptors is discussed.
