ABSTRACT Considerable evidence has accumulated suggesting that purines, adenosine and ATP function as neurotransmitters in the central and peripheral nervous systems1–4. Burnstock2 has
proposed that purinergic receptors be classified into two types, P1 and P2, having adenosine and ATP, respectively, as agonist prototypes. Recent data suggest that ATP may mediate a synaptic
potential in guinea pig vas deferons5,6, but no such evidence exists for adenosine. The presence of a non-cholinergic, non-adrenergic nerve supply to the urinary bladder has been
postulated7,8 and termed purinergic1,2, as these nerves have been shown to release ATP7. Furthermore, atropine-resistant contractions of bladder smooth muscle are thought to be mediated by
ATP, while _in situ_ experiments9,10 in vesical parasympathetic ganglia have suggested that a purinergic modulatory mechanism may control urinary bladder function. We now report the presence
of a slow hyperpolarizing synaptic potential (slow-h.s.p.) in neurones of cat vesical parasympathetic ganglia, produced by stimulating the preganglionic nerves, and provide evidence that
the slow-h.s.p. is mediated by adenosine. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access
