Potential Cardiac Valve Effects of Dopamine Agonists

EFFECTS OF DOPAMINE RECEPTOR AGONISTS AND ANTAGONISTS ON BACLOFEN-INDUCED ANTINOCICEPTION IN FORM ALIN TEST

In this study, the influence of dopamine receptor agonists and antagonists on antinociception induced by bac10fen has been examined in the formalin test. The GABA-B agonist bac10fen induced antinociception in both phases of the formalin test in mice. The dopamine receptor agonists SKF 38393 and quinpirole also induced antinociception in both phases of the test. SKF 38393 but not quinpirole ...

Effects of selective dopamine receptor (Dl and D2) agonists on stress-induced gastric ulcer in rat

  It has been revealed that dopamine (DA) modulates gastro-duodenal responses to stress. Several investigations have been made to identify the mechanisms and/or receptors by which DA or its promoters exert their gastroprotective function against stress, however there are many discrepancies in this respect. In order to clarify the relative contribution and/or interaction of two DA receptor subty...

Recurrence of hyperprolactinemia after withdrawal of dopamine agonists: systematic review and meta-analysis.

CONTEXT Dopamine agonists are the treatment of choice for prolactinomas and symptomatic idiopathic hyperprolactinemia. However, the optimal treatment strategy and treatment duration is not clear in all details. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to assess the effect of dopamine agonist withdrawal in patients with idiopathic hyperprolactinemia and prolactinomas. DATA SOURCES PubMed, the Coch...

Dopamine Agonists

Dopamine agonists (DA) have been used to treat symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) since the late 1970s (1). These agents were initially introduced to supplement the beneficial effect and possibly reduce the incidence of longterm complications of levodopa. In the last 30 years, methodical investigations of DA have demonstrated therapeutic benefit in all stages of PD both in combination with le...
