The effect of intravenous dopamine on systemic blood pressure in the anesthetized dog was shown to be the result of a balance between vasoconstriction in some beds (carotid and femoral) and vasodilation in others (superior mesenteric, renal, and celiac). Cardiac output was not muchaffected, but tended to be increased. The systemic depressor effect was usually unaffected or reduced, rarely blocked, by nethalide and the same was found for the dilator effect in the mesentery. The systemic pressor effect of dopamine was reversed by tolazoline, as was the constrictor effect in the separate beds.
