Pharmacological Evidence That Dopamine Inhibits the Cardioaccelerator Sympathetic Outflow via D2-Like Receptors in Pithed Rats

It has been suggested that N,N-di-n-propyl-dopamine (dopamine analogue) decreased heart rate in rats through stimulation of dopamine receptors. Nevertheless, the role of prejunctional dopamine D1/2-like receptors or even α2-adrenoceptors to mediate cardiac sympatho-inhibition induced by dopamine rem...
