Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The effects of exogenous adenosine and adenine phosphorylated derivatives were tested on the adrenergic luminescence of isolated luminous organs of the fish Porichthys. Adenosine triphosphate, at concentrations ranging from 10(-5) M to 10(-2)M, strongly inhibited the two peaks of the biphasic-shaped light emission induced by adrenalin. Adenosine diphosphate mimicked the effects of ATP, whereas adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and cyclic-AMP were ineffective. Adenosine had no inhibitory effect but potentiated the first peak of light whose intensity was five times increased. It is concluded that P2-purinergic receptors might be present on photocytes and exert a negative control on the luminescent system. Adenosine-induced potentiation might be related to an intracellular effect of this compound. |
