title: Dopamine DA1 receptor activation reduces experimentally-induced gastritis in rats.
abstract: 1. A selective dopamine DA1 receptor agonist, SKF38393, reduced the severity of experimentally-induced gastritis in rats. 2. This is the first such demonstration with a dopamine DA1 receptor agonist. 3. When considered together with other reported actions of D1/DA1 receptor agonists, these data confirm a significant gastroprotective role for dopamine.
