To study if the treatment with adenosine (ADO), an agonist of adenosine receptors, attenuates intestinal dysfunction caused by ischemia (I) and reperfusion (R), we treated rabbits with ADO (15 mg x kg(-1), intravenously) or saline solution (SS) to I (60 minutes) before occlusion of superior mesenteric artery and/or R (120 min). After I or I/R, isolated jejunal segments (2 cm) were mounted in an organ bath to study nerve-mediated contractions stimulated by electrical pulses or KCl using a digital recording system. Thin jejunal slices were stained (hematoxylin and eosin) for analysis by optical microscopy. Compared to the sham group, the jejunal contractions were similar in I + ADO, but reduced in I + SS, I/R + SS, and I/R + ADO groups. We concluded that the jejunal enteric nerves were damaged in I + SS, I/R + SS, and I/R + ADO, but not in I + ADO group. These results suggested that ADO attenuated intestinal dysfunction due to I, but not to R.
