The intermediate lobe (IL) of the rat pituitary gland responds to catecholamines. Catecholamines
interacting with the β-adrenoceptor stimulate adenylate cyclase activity, enhance cyclic …

Available evidence suggests the existence of multiple categories of dopamine receptor 1–4
. According to the classification scheme used here 5 , dopamine receptors can be divided …

The dopamine receptor in the intermediate lobe (IL) of the hypophysis of the rat is characterized
on the basis of the ability of dopamine and other dopaminergic agonists to decrease the …

… of receptors on the 7315c cells and a corresponding 40% increase in the efficacy of DAMGO
in inhibiting forskolin-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity in 7315c membranes (Cote et al., …

Stimulation of the D-2 dopamine receptor inhibits pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) synthesis in
isolated rat intermediate lobe tissue. Intermediate lobe tissue was incubated in the absence …

Antibodies directed against the C‐terminal and the N‐terminal regions of the μ‐opioid receptor
were generated to identify the G proteins that coimmunoprecipitate with the μ receptor. …

Adrenal cAMP and plasma corticosterone levels were determined in pre-weanling rats subjected
to treatment with either ACTH (50 mU* rat) or histamine dihydrochloride (0.2 mg*g body …

The 731 5c cell, derived from a rat anterior pituitary tumor, expresses an angiotensin II (All)
receptor.[3H] AlI binds to 731 5c membranes specifically and saturably(KD= 2.1±0.6 x iO M, …

After treatment with cholera toxin, homogenates of intact intermediate lobe (IL) tissue of rat
pituitary gland synthesized more cAMP than did homogenates of untreated IL tissue, and only …

In 1971, Sutherland and his colleagues, GA Robison and RW Butcher, noted:'dopamine may
play an especially important role as a transmitter within the CNS, and many of its actions, …
