Bromocriptine, dopamine and glaucoma.
The pharmacological control of intraocular pressure (IOP) is as complex as any other physiological system. The influence of the parasympathetic side of the autonomic nervous system, acting through muscarinic cholinergic receptors, has long been known, and cholinergic agonists such as pilocarpine are widely used in treatment of glaucoma. The sympathetic nervous system influences IOP in a remarka...
متن کاملEffects of bromocriptine on dopamine turnover with or without levodopa.
Bromocriptine, a dopamine agonist, alleviates symptoms of Parkinson's disease, even when administered alone, and is used for its treatment. Better therapeutic effects are, however, achieved when bromocriptine is used in combination with levodopa. In this study, we examined the biochemical changes caused by bromocriptine administration with and without levodopa, and evaluated the effects of the ...
متن کاملDopaminergic inhibition of metoclopramide-induced aldosterone secretion in man. Dissociation of responses to dopamine and bromocriptine.
This study was designed to investigate the role of dopaminergic mechanisms in the control of aldosterone secretion in man. Five normal male subjects in metabolic balance at 150 meq sodium/d and 60 meq potassium/d constant intake received the specific dopamine antagonist, metoclopramide, 10 mg i.v. on 2 consecutive d. On the 1st d, the subjects received an infusion of 5% glucose solution (vehicl...
متن کاملOestrogen-induced hyperprolactinaemia in the rat: reduced concentrations of hypothalamic dopamine and the effects of bromocriptine.
The induction of hyperprolactinaemia in the male rat following chronic oestrogen administration over 3 months was shown to result in a highly significant reduction in hypothalamic dopamine (DA) concentration as well as significant reductions in hypothalamic noradrenaline (NA) and serotonin (5-HT). Significant increases in hypothalamic DA synthesis were found 4 days after a single dose of oestro...
متن کاملBromocriptine and insulin secretion.
The dopaminergic drug bromocriptine inhibited the release of insulin from isolated mouse pancreatic islets. The effect was counteracted by haloperidol or pimozide. It is suggested that insulin release may be inhibited through activation of D-2 dopaminergic receptors in the pancreatic beta-cells.
