Adenosine Regulation

Meaning

Adenosine regulation refers to the precise control of adenosine levels and signaling pathways within the body’s tissues. This purine nucleoside acts as a critical neuromodulator and a key component in cellular energy transfer, notably as part of ATP. Maintaining appropriate concentrations of adenosine is vital for cellular homeostasis and systemic function. Its regulatory role is particularly important in balancing oxygen supply and metabolic demand, especially within the cardiovascular and nervous systems.
