The actions of dopamine and of sulpiride on regional blood flows in the rat kidney.

Abstract: 1. Blood flow was measured in the renal cortex and medulla of anaesthetized rats by the hydrogen washout method. The effects of dopamine infusion were measured. 2. Low doses of dopamine (20 and 65 n‐mole.kg‐1.min‐1) caused only small increases in renal blood flow, and a higher dose (200 n‐mole.kg‐1.min‐1) caused vasoconstriction. After alpha‐blockade with phenoxybenzamine (9 mumole.kg‐1), all doses of dopamine caused vasodilatation in the cortex and medulla of the kidney. 3. This dopamine‐induced renal vasodil… Show more

“…Dopamine is synthesized within the kidney (1) and acts locally to produce natriuresis (2-5) and vasodilation (6). Although these roles for dopamine in kidney physiology are well established, the cellular localization of renal dopamine receptors has not been defined.…”

Another important effect of dopamine, which does not occur with other caused vasoconstriction.…”

“…By counteracting a dopamine-dependent vasodilatation, and consequently increasing the cortico-medullary osmotic gradient, dopamine antagonists could favour collecting tubule water reabsorption (Chapman et al, 1980). This would mimic the effect ofenhanced plasma ADH concentration and lead to reduced urine flow and increased urine osmolality.…”
