title: Dopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase in rabbit renal artery.
abstract: The effect of dopamine on 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) generation in the rabbit renal artery was studied. Dopamine added to homogenates of rabbit renal artery increased the concentration of cAMP. The stimulation of cAMP levels elicited by dopamine was remarkably reduced by the dopamine receptor antagonists fluphenazine and haloperidol, but it was unaffected by the ergot-like dopaminergic agonist bromocriptine. These findings appear to indicate that the effects of dopamine on rabbit renal artery are mediated through a D1 receptor.
