Adenosine stimulates respiration in man

A H Watt et al. Br J Clin Pharmacol. 1985 Nov.

Abstract

Respiratory effects produced by a series of intravenous boluses of adenosine were studied in nine healthy human subjects. Adenosine produced a significant dose-related increase in respiration, mostly due to increased depth of respiration. Possible mechanisms of this effect are discussed.
