Dopamine enhances the action of prolactin on rat blood vessels. Implications for dopamine effects on plasma prolactin

Dopamine enhances the action of prolactin on rat blood vessels. Implications for dopamine effects on plasma prolactin

M S Manku et al. Endocrinology. 1977 Oct.

Abstract

It has been claimed that dopamine enhances peripheral uptake of prolactin. Dopamine at 2.1 x 10(-9)M, a concentration which had no effect by itself, enhanced both the potentiation of rat mesenteric vascular reactivity caused by 50ng/ml ovine prolactin and the inhibition of reactivity caused by 500ng/ml prolactin. These observations are consistent with the proposal that dopamine can interact peripherally with prolactin.
