Notes:
Summary Dopamine (0.5–100 μM) as well as apomorphine (1–100 μM) were found to be potent stimulators of adenylate cyclase in homogenates of rabbit retina. When compared with the dopamine-effect at 10 μM, half-stimulation was also obtained in response to noradrenaline or adrenaline, whereas isoprenaline or phenylephrine were ineffective. Furthermore, the dopamine-induced production of cyclic AMP was blocked by chloropromazine and haloperidol. These data would suggest the occurence of a specific “dopamine receptor” in the retina of the rabbit.
