purinergic, a. Physiol.|pjʊəriːˈnɜːdʒɪk|
[f. prec. + Gr. ἔργ-ον work + -ic.]
Of a nerve-fibre: that liberates, and is stimulated by, a purine derivative.
1971Courier-Mail (Brisbane) 16 Jan. 8/1 Professor Burnstock and colleagues..have just published a paper presenting evidence that this third type of autonomic nerve fibre acts by releasing..a purine nucleotide. Because of this they tentatively propose to call the nerves ‘purinergic’. 1971G. Burnstock in Nature 22 Jan. 282/3 In the early 1960s powerful nerves were found to supply that gut which were neither cholinergic nor adrenergic... Evidence has recently been presented that the transmitter substance released from these nerves may be ATP or some related purine nucleotide. It would therefore seem reasonable..to propose that the new nerves be termed ‘purinergic’. 1977Lancet 19 Nov. 1065/2 Work on the non-adrenergic non-cholinergic (purinergic) system will probably shed more light on and possibly lead to more rational pharmacological approaches to the deranged internal sphincter. |
