adenosine /aden·o·sine/ (
ah-den´o-sēn) a purine nucleoside consisting of adenine and ribose; a component of RNA. It is also a cardiac depressant and
vasodilator used as an
antiarrhythmic and as an adjunct in
myocardial perfusion imaging in patients incapable of exercising adequately to undergo an
exercise stress test. Symbol
A.
cyclic adenosine monophosphate a cyclic nucleotide, adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate, that serves as an intracellular, and sometimes extracellular, “second messenger” mediating the action of many peptide or amine hormones. Abbreviated
3,
cAMP, and
cyclic AMP.
adenosine diphosphate (ADP) a nucleotide, the 5′-pyrophosphate of adenosine, involved in energy metabolism; it is produced by the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and converted back to ATP by the metabolic processes oxidative phosphorylation and substrate-level phosphorylation.
adenosine monophosphate (AMP)
adenylic acid; a nucleotide, the 5′-phosphate of adenosine, involved in energy metabolism and nucleotide synthesis.
adenosine triphosphate (ATP) a nucleotide, the 5′-triphosphate of adenosine, involved in energy metabolism and required for RNA synthesis; it occurs in all cells and is used to store energy in the form of high-energy phosphate bonds. The free energy derived from its hydrolysis is used to drive metabolic reactions, to transport molecules against concentration gradients, and to produce mechanical motion.
adenosine monophosphate (AMP), an ester, composed of adenine-
d-ribose and phosphoric acid, that participates in energy released by working muscle. Also called
adenylic acid.
adenosine (
den´sēn´),n a compound derived from nucleic acid, composed of adenine and a sugar, D-ribose. Major molecular component of nucleotides and the nucleic acids.
adenosine monophosphate (AMP),
n an ester, composed of adenine, D-ribose, and phosphoric acid, that affects energy release in work done by a muscle.
adenosine triphosphate (ATP),
n a compound consisting of the nucleotide adenosine attached through its ribose group to three phosphoric acid molecules. Stores energy in muscles, which is released when it is hydrolized to adenosine diphosphate.
Adenoviridaen a family of unenveloped, 20-sided DNA viruses found in mammals (Mastadenovirus) and birds (Aviadenovirus). The human variety can cause a number of diseases, from conjunctivitis to urinary tract infection.

Q. My child, who has dypraxia, passed both TOVA & BRC. Help, I don't want to put him on ritalin but feel pres Since age 4 my child has received OT, ST and Physiotherpy. He is now 81/2 and has difficulties at school. Last year, after years of therapy, we went to a private Neuro Developmental Physiotherapist and she diagnosed him with Dyspraxia. I thought that my son was good at sport, but when she asked him to do the simplest of task like stand on one leg, or walk one foot infront of the other, he had great difficulty. He has diffculty processing information or thoughts and turning them into actions. This is especially evident in copying from the blackboard. His handwriting is extremely poor, even after many years, at much expence, of intense OT. His attention span is very poor, he daydreams and shuts down in class. The slightest noise, knock on the door, ticking clock etc wil break his concentration. He has passed both TOVA and BRC test, yet I am still under pressure from the school to put him on ritalin. I feel his concentration & attention problems are due to his Dyspraxia. Help
A. Hello I dont no if this will help you, My son has been told he MAY have mild dyspraxia but at the end of the day my son is a great kid with so much to give and lots of love with in him, I suggest that you stay away from ritalin it will only sedate your son, he will not be himself he will become a child with no spirit.
I no an American lady who lived in the uk at the time and used ritalin the out come was that she regretted using it on her daughter as she had lost her real child due to the drug.

Q. Diet & exercise do not help with weight loss since being on psyc. meds. Any suggestions?
A. L-carnitine and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) can be helpful for fat loss. Studies are mixed, but I find them to be effective.
Try cutting out grains (rice, corn, wheat) and eat vegetables and fruits for carbohydrates instead.
