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.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008638 Mesenteric Arteries Arteries which arise from the abdominal aorta and distribute to most of the intestines. Arteries, Mesenteric,Artery, Mesenteric,Mesenteric Artery
D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.

D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.
