  April 2002 - March 2007
  1.	Characterize ADO vasoactivity in the arterial network in the rat cerebral circulation in the region-specific manner using an in vitro preparation.
  2.	Define the functional and molecular anatomy of ADO receptors and the cell-specific spatial distribution of the receptors in cerebrovascular vessels.
  3.	Define the role of KATP channels and KCa channels of ADO-induced vasodilation in the arterial network using an in vitro isolated perfused vessel with spontaneous tone and isolated single VSM cells.
