Effects of bromocriptine on cyclic-GMP contents of some endocrine glands and liver in rats.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cyclic GMP contents of the thyroid gland and ovary were significantly increased in response to single and multiple treatments of bromocriptine, an effect which was antagonized by sulpiride. Liver and adrenocortical cyclic GMP levels have not been changed by bromocriptine although sulpiride alone induced a significant reduction. The data may indicate the presence of D2 receptors in ovary and thyroid gland that are related to cyclic GMP.

Role of cyclic AMP in the action of dopaminergic D2 receptors of some endocrine glands in rats.
Short-term and long-term effects of bromocriptine mesylate (10 mg/kg i.p.) on cyclic AMP contents of the liver and some endocrine glands have been investigated in the presence and absence of sulpiride (10 mg/kg i.p.). Results revealed that bromocriptine caused significant elevations in the cyclic AMP contents of the liver and reduction in its adrenocortical content. Bromocriptine effect on the ...

متن کاملEffect of Severe Hyperthyroidism on Concentrations of Nitric Oxide-producing Enzymes in Liver of Male Rats
Introduction: Thyroid hormones play an important role in normal function of liver and hyperthyroidism can cause liver dysfunction. Thyroid hormones affect nitric oxide (NO)-producing enzymes in liver. The aim of this study is to investigate effects of hyperthyroidism on protein levels of three isoforms of NO synthase (NOS) enzymes, including endothelial NOS (eNOS), inducible NOS (iNOS), and neu...
