Description: white or almost white crystalline powder
Definition:
The adenine N-9 and D-ribose C-1 β glycosidic linkage is made through compound, its phosphate to adenosine. Otherwise known as the ribose or deoxyribose to connect the formation of adenine nucleotides.
Mechanism:
Adenosine plays an important role in biochemistry, including adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or adeno-bisphosphate (ADP) form of transfer of energy, or to cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) for signal transmission and so on. In addition, adenosine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter (inhibitory neurotransmitter), may promote sleep.
Academic Research:
In the December 23 "natural - Medicine" (Nature Medicine) magazine, a new study shows that a compound will help us to alleviate the brain of sleep and other brain disease Parkinson's disease Deep brain stimulation of the success are crucial. This study shows that: a sleepy brain could lead to compound - Adenosine is a deep brain stimulation (DBS) effect of the key. The technology for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and patients with severe tremor, this method was also tried for the treatment of severe depression.
