Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The present study describes the presence and binding parameters of the A1, A2A, A2B and A3 adenosine receptors in bovine chondrocytes and fibroblast-like synoviocytes. The effect of low frequency low energy pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) on the adenosine receptor affinity and density was studied. METHODS: Saturation, competition binding experiments and Western blotting assays in the absence and...
