Activation of central adenosine A1 receptors in the rat, a non-hibernating species, mimics the physiological characteristics of torpor and could thus represent a basis for the development of pharmacological approaches to induce therapeutic hypothermia in pathologies such as brain hemorrhage and ischemia, and to facilitate long-term space travel.

Abstract
Activation of central adenosine A1 receptors in the rat, a non-hibernating species, mimics the physiological characteristics of torpor and could thus represent a basis for the development of pharmacological approaches to induce therapeutic hypothermia in pathologies such as brain hemorrhage and ischemia, and to facilitate long-term space travel.File in questo prodotto:
