title: Dopamine receptors do not influence beta2-sympathomimetic-mediated inhibition of gastric acid secretion in the dog.
abstract: The effect of dopamine blockade by haloperidol and metoclopramide on beta2-adrenergic-induced changes of acid secretion and pulse rate was studied in conscious gastric fistula dogs. Neither haloperidol (0.15 mg/kg and 0.60 mg/kg) nor metoclopramide (0.25 mg/kg and 1.0 mg/kg), given intravenously, had a significant influence on beta2-adrenergic-induced inhibition of gastric acid secretion or tachycardia. Dopamine blockade had no influence on pentagastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion, but it increased pulse rate. It is concluded that dopamine receptors are not involved in the inhibiton of acid output or tachycardia induced by beta2-sympathomimetics, and dopamine is probably not a neurotransmitter for these effects.
