Tissue depletion of adenosine during endotoxaemia has previously been described in the lung. Therapeutic approaches to prevent adenosine depletion and the role of A1 and A2 receptor agonists, however, have not been investigated until now. ⋯ Adenosine A1- and A2-receptor agonists reduced LPS-induced vasoconstriction and oedema formation by maintenance of tissue energy content. Thus, adenosine receptor stimulation, in particular of the A2 receptor, might be beneficial during acute lung injury.
