“…The inhibitory effect of dopamine on ion transport is exerted via its own receptors (10, 83, 123, 173, 204, 210, 220, 352, 396, 401, 402, 457–459, 597, 628, 690) and via the regulation of the release or secretion of other hormones/humoral substances. Such hormones may directly inhibit ion transport, interact with dopamine to increase [e.g., ANP (118,318,392, 393,481), nitric oxide (631), prolactin (280), and eicosanoids (272, 328)] their inhibition of ion and water transport, and/or prevent their stimulatory effect on sodium transport [e.g., angiotensin II (100,101,116,134,274,321,363,558,628), insulin (44,45,682), and vasopressin (16,559)]. Dopamine receptors also inhibit renal nerve activity (520), although the natriuretic effect of D 1 -like receptor stimulation persists even after renal denervation (307).…”
