Dopamine decreases mesenteric blood flow in the anaesthetised dog through the stimulation of postsynaptic alpha 2-adrenoceptors.

Abstract:

:The decrease in mesenteric blood flow produced by dopamine administered intra-arterially in the anaesthetised dog was investigated by means of drugs selective for alpha 1- and alpha 2-adrenoceptors. The selective alpha 1-adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine (0.3-100 microgram) given by intra-arterial injection (i.a.) into the superior mesenteric artery of the anaesthetized dog produced a decrease in mesenteric blood flow which was preferentially blocked by the alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin (30-300 microgram/kg i.v.). On the other hand, i.a. injections of the selective alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist M7 (1-100 microgram) or of dopamine (1-300 microgram) produced a decrease in mesenteric blood flow which was blocked by the alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonist yohimbine (100-300 microgram/kg i.v.) but was not significantly reduced by prazosin (300 microgram/kg i.v.). These results demonstrate that the mesenteric vascular bed of the dog contains both alpha 1- and alpha 2-adrenoceptors located postsynaptically and mediating vasoconstriction. The decrease in mesenteric blood flow produced by i.a. injections of dopamine is mediated predominantly via postsynaptic alpha 2-adrenoceptors.
