Does lithium protect against toxic effects of cadmium in the rat testes?
Lithium has a protective effect against cadmium-induced testicular apoptosis in the rat.
MTX treatment inhibits deamination of adenosine and potentiates adenosine-induced vasodilatation. Also dipyridamole-induced vasodilatation is enhanced by MTX treatment, suggesting an increased extracellular formation of adenosine. These effects on the adenosine kinetics in humans may contribute to the therapeutic efficacy of MTX.
