Vasodilator responses to ATP and UTP are not dependent on nitric oxide release, K<sup>+</sup><sub>ATP</sub> channel activation, or the release of vasodilator prostaglandins in the hindlimb vascular bed of the cat
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The effects of the purinergic agonists, ATP, ATPgammaS, UTP, and 2-Met-Thio AP, were investigated in the hindlimb vascular bed of the cat. Under constant-flow conditions, injections of the purinergic agonists into the perfusion circuit elicited dose-related decreases in perfusion pressure. The order of potency was 2-Met-Thio ATP > ATPgammaS > ATP > UTP. In contrast, injections of GTPgammaS, cAMP, UDP, and UMP had no effect. Vasodilator responses to ATP, ATPgammaS, UTP, and 2-Met-Thio ATP were increased in duration by the cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor rolipram, whereas the cGMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor zaprinast had no effect. Responses to the purinergic agonists were not altered by nitric oxide synthase inhibitors, K+(ATP) channel antagonists, cyclooxygenase inhibitors, or agents that interfere with the actions of the adrenergic nervous system. These data suggest that ATP, ATPgammaS, UTP, and 2-Met-Thio ATP dilate the hindlimb vascular bed by a direct cAMP-dependent mechanism, and that the release of nitric oxide, vasodilator prostaglandins, K+(ATP) channel opening, or an inhibitory effect on the adrenergic nervous system play little, if any, role in mediating or modulating responses to the purinergic agonists in the hindlimb circulation of the cat.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
