Abstract
The significance of our findings is that theophylline-induced effects can be normalized to pre-drug levels by the selective activation of peripheral adenosine A1 receptors. The therapeutic benefits of theophylline, i.e., recovered respiratory function after paralysis, however, persists. The potential therapeutic impact is that respiratory muscle fatigue associated with long-term theophylline use may be minimized by a novel therapeutic approach.
