Recently, it has been suggested from the results of in vivo experiments in human (Norbiato, Bevilacqa, Raggi, Micossi and Moroni 1977) that dopamine has an inhibitory role in aldosterone secretion. High concentrations of dopamine, a precursor of epinephrine and norepinephrine, have been found in the sympathetic ganglia and adrenomedullary gland. The peripheral dopamine level was shown to increase significantly during stress in man
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
