Effects of NAD at purine receptors in isolated blood vessels (2014)
Journal Article

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) belongs to the family of naturally occurring adenine dinucleotides, best known for their various intracellular roles. However, there is evidence that they can also be released from cells to act as novel extrace... Read More about Effects of NAD at purine receptors in isolated blood vessels.

Raised tone reveals ATP as a sympathetic neurotransmitter in the porcine mesenteric arterial bed (2014)
Journal Article

The relative importance of ATP as a functional sympathetic neurotransmitter in blood vessels has been shown to be increased when the level of preexisting vascular tone or pressure is increased, in studies carried out in rat mesenteric arteries. The a... Read More about Raised tone reveals ATP as a sympathetic neurotransmitter in the porcine mesenteric arterial bed.

Novel vasocontractile role of the P2Y14receptor: characterization of its signalling in porcine isolated pancreatic arteries (2014)
Journal Article

Background and Purpose: The P2Y14 receptor is the newest member of the P2Y receptor family; it is Gi/o protein-coupled and is activated by UDP and selectively by UDP-glucose and MRS2690 (2-thiouridine-5′-diphosphoglucose) (7–10-fold more potent than...
