Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction in obesity and diabetes can be caused by excessive production of free radicals, which can damage mitochondrial DNA. Because mitochondrial DNA plays a key role in the production of ATP necessary for cardiac work, we hypothesized that mitochondrial dysfunction, induced by mitochondrial DNA damage, uncouples coronary blood flow from cardiac work. Myocardial blood flow (contrast echocardiography) was measured in Zucker lean (ZLN) and obese fatty (ZOF) rats during increased cardiac metabolism (product of heart rate and arterial pressure, i.v. norepinephrine). In ZLN increased metabolism augmented coronary blood flow, but in ZOF metabolic hyperemia was attenuated. Mitochondrial respiration was impaired and ROS production was greater in ZOF than ZLN. These were associated with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage in ZOF. To determine if coronary metabolic dilation, the hyperemic response induced by heightened cardiac metabolism, is linked to mitochondrial function we introduced recombinant proteins (intravenously or intraperitoneally) in ZLN and ZOF to fragment or repair mtDNA, respectively. Repair of mtDNA damage restored mitochondrial function and metabolic dilation, and reduced ROS production in ZOF; whereas induction of mtDNA damage in ZLN reduced mitochondrial function, increased ROS production, and attenuated metabolic dilation. Adequate metabolic dilation was also associated with the extracellular release of ADP, ATP, and H2O2 by cardiac myocytes; whereas myocytes from rats with impaired dilation released only H2O2. In conclusion, our results suggest that mitochondrial function plays a seminal role in connecting myocardial blood flow to metabolism, and integrity of mtDNA is central to this process.

Abstract
In this review we outline the unique effects of the autacoid adenosine in the kidney. Adenosine is present in the cytosol of renal cells and in the extracellular space of normoxic kidneys. Extracellular adenosine can derive from cellular adenosine release or extracellular breakdown of ATP, AMP, or cAMP. It is generated at enhanced rates when tubular NaCl reabsorption and thus transport work increase or when hypoxia is induced. Extracellular adenosine acts on adenosine receptor subtypes in the cell membranes to affect vascular and tubular functions. Adenosine lowers glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by constricting afferent arterioles, especially in superficial nephrons, and acts as a mediator of the tubuloglomerular feedback, i.e., a mechanism that coordinates GFR and tubular transport. In contrast, it leads to vasodilation in deep cortex and medulla. Moreover, adenosine tonically inhibits the renal release of renin and stimulates NaCl transport in the cortical proximal tubule but inhibits it in medullary segments including the medullary thick ascending limb. These differential effects of adenosine are subsequently analyzed in a more integrative way in the context of intrarenal metabolic regulation of kidney function, and potential pathophysiological consequences are outlined.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine which adenosine receptor subtypes were involved in the modulation of norepinephrine release from cardiac nerve terminals. In addition, the persistence of adenosine-mediated effects was evaluated. Rat hearts attached to the stellate ganglion were isolated and perfused. The ganglion was electrically stimulated twice (S1 and S2), allowing 10 min between the stimulations. To determine adenosine receptor subtypes, selective and nonselective adenosine agonists and antagonists were infused following S1 and until the end of S2. To evaluate the persistence of adenosine-mediated effect on norepinephrine release, the stellate ganglion was stimulated a third (S3) and fourth (S4) time. Coronary effluents were collected to determine norepinephrine content. Adenosine and a selective A1 receptor agonist, CCPA, inhibited norepinephrine release by 49% and 54%, respectively. This effect was reversed by simultaneous infusion of nonspecific (8-SPT) and specific (DPCPX) A1 receptor antagonists. Selective A2A (CGS 21680) and A3 (AB-MECA) receptor agonists had no discernible effect on norepinephrine release. Similarly, adenosine A2A receptor antagonists CSC and DMPX did not alter the dose-response relation between norepinephrine release and adenosine. Finally, the inhibitory effects of adenosine on norepinephrine release did not persist 10 min subsequent to the removal of adenosine. Adenosine inhibited norepinephrine release primarily via the adenosine A1 receptor. This effect of adenosine was of short duration. Adenosine A2A and A3 receptors were either absent or functionally insignificant in the regulation of norepinephrine release in the rat heart.

Abstract
Adenosine exerts a spectrum of energy-preserving actions on the heart negative chronotropic effects. The pathways leading to adenosine formation have remained controversial. In particular, although cytosolic 5'-nucleotidases can catalyze adenosine formation in cardiomyocytes, their contribution to the actions of adenosine has not been documented previously. We recently cloned two closely related AMP-preferring cytosolic 5'-nucleotidases (cN-IA and -IB); the A form predominates in the heart. In this study, we overexpressed pigeon cN-IA in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes using an adenovirus. cN-IA overexpression increased adenosine formation and release into the medium caused by simulated hypoxia and by isoproterenol in the absence and presence of inhibitors of adenosine metabolism. Adenosine release was not affected by an ecto-5'-nucleotidase inhibitor, alpha,beta-methylene-ADP, but was affected by a nucleoside transporter, dipyridamole. The positive chronotropic effect of isoproterenol (130 +/-3 vs. 100 +/-4 beats/min) was inhibited (107 +/-3 vs. 94 +/-3 beats/min) in cells overexpressing cN-IA, and this was reversed by the addition of the adenosine receptor antagonist 8-(p-sulfophenyl)theophilline (120 +/- 3 vs. 90 +/- 4 beats/min). Our results demonstrate that overexpressed cN-IA can be sufficiently active in cardiomyocytes to generate physiologically effective concentrations of adenosine at its receptors.

Abstract
Neurosecretory vesicles actively accumulate neurotransmitter by consuming proton motive force generated by vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase). The effects of bafilomycin A, a macrolide antibiotic that inactivates V-ATPase, on nerve stimulation-mediated inotropic responses of the left atrium were studied to explore the role of the enzyme in the cholinergic and adrenergic neurotransmissions. On field stimulation, the contractility of paced atrium exhibited initial atropine-sensitive depression followed by propranolol-sensitive facilitation. Both the negative and positive inotropic effects were abolished by bafilomycin A. The inhibitions were irreversible and followed a similar time course and the inhibitory effects were accelerated by intense nerve stimulation. In contrast, bafilomycin A had no effect on the inotropic responses produced by muscarinic acetylcholine or alpha-adrenergic receptor agonist. Stimulation of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor also elicited biphasic changes of contractile force, which were depressed by bafilomycin A. Compared with the inhibitory effects on field stimulation, the depressions progressed slowly and incompletely. The results suggest that inhibition of V-ATPase depressed the synaptic transmissions at autonomic nerve-muscle junctions. Furthermore, bafilomycin A preferentially inhibited neurotransmitter release emanating from the immediately releasable pool.

Abstract
We have previously reported that adenosine formed in response to reduced arteriolar and/or tissue PO(2) preserves endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthesis during sympathetic vasoconstriction in the rat intestine. To more precisely identify the site and mechanism of adenosine formation under these conditions, we tested the hypothesis that ATP released in response to reduced O(2) levels serves as a source of adenosine. Direct application of ATP to the wall of first-order arterioles elicited dose-dependent dilations of 15-33% above resting diameter that were reduced by 71-80% by the 5'-ectonucleotidase inhibitor alpha,beta-methyleneadenosine 5'-diphosphate (AOPCP, 4.5 x 10(-5) M) and completely abolished by N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA, 10(-4) M). Under control conditions, sympathetic nerve stimulation at 3 and 8 Hz induced arteriolar constrictions of 11 +/- 1 and 19 +/- 1 microm, respectively. These responses were enhanced by 58-69% in the presence of L-NMMA or when local PO(2) was maintained at resting levels. However, in the presence of AOPCP, the enhancing effects of L-NMMA and the high O(2) superfusate on sympathetic constriction were preserved. These results suggest that, although exogenously applied ATP can stimulate arteriolar NO release in the intestine largely through its sequential extracellular hydrolysis to adenosine, this process does not contribute to adenosine formation and sustained NO release during sympathetic constriction in this vascular bed.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to establish whether epicardial transudates could be used to uncover small, but physiologically important changes in interstitial NE concentrations under normal and pathological conditions. Norepinephrine (NE) concentrations measured in epicardial transudate fluid were compared to NE levels in the coronary effluent in normal and pressure overload hypertrophied (POH) rat hearts. Hearts were isolated together with the stellate ganglion and perfused in the inverted position. Epicardial surface transudates, representative fluid of the interstitial myocardial compartment, and coronary effluents were collected for determination of NE levels in the presence and absence of stellate ganglion stimulation. The same protocol was repeated in the presence and absence of nisoxetine, a NE uptake blocker. NE concentrations in epicardial transudates were 16- and 19-fold higher than in the coronary effluent in both sham and POH groups, respectively. NE concentrations in the transudates but not in the coronary effluents were significantly higher (1.6-fold) in hearts with POH when compared to normal hearts. Likewise, nisoxetine (10(-5)m) increased (1.3-fold) NE concentrations in the transudates but not in the effluents of sham animals. As expected, stellate ganglion stimulation increased NE concentrations in both transudates and effluents in sham and POH hearts. In conclusion, determination of NE concentrations in epicardial transudates represents a simple, rapid and sensitive method to detect increases in adrenergic activity in normal and abnormal hearts.
