چکیده    Adenosine is implicated in the modulation of cardiovascular responses either at the peripheral or at central level in experimental animals. however,there are no dedicated reviews on the involvement of adenosine in mediating the hypotensive response of centrally administered clonidine in general and specifically in aortically barodenervated rats (abd). the conscious abd rat model exhibits surgically induced baroreflex dysfunction and exaggerated hypotensive response,compared with conscious sham-operated (so) rats. the current review focuses on,the role of adenosine receptors in blood pressure (bp) regulation and their possible crosstalk with other receptors e.g. imidazoline (i1) and alpha (α2a) adrenergic receptor (ar). the former receptor is a molecular target for clonidine,whose hypotensive effect is enhanced approx. 3-fold in conscious abd rats. we also discussed how the balance between the brain stem adenosine a1 and a2a receptors is regulated by baroreceptors and how such balance influences the centrally mediated hypotensive responses. the use of the abd rat model yielded insight into the downstream signaling cascades following clonidine-evoked hypotension in a surgical model of baroreflex dysfunction. © 2014.
