...Ching-ju Chen; Chung-Hung Shue In order to understand how histamine-sensitized airways may react to exogenous dopamine, we investigated the effect of histamine treatment on the dopamine-induced contractions of canine tracheal smooth muscle. The results showed that preconstricting muscle strips...

...Garry W. Lambert; James M. Hinson, Jr.; Graham C. Scott Infusion of exogenous dopamine has been shown to alter both the hypoxic and the hypercapnic ventilatory response, but its effects on the hypoxic and the hypercapnic cardiac response have not been reported. The purpose of this study...

Kuzminskaya Background: Short-term exposure to high-altitude hypoxia increases hypoxic ventilatory sensitivity (HVS) in healthy humans. Dopamine (DA...

... immunization with IP18-KLH could prevent nicotine-induced dopamine release in the shell of nucleus accumbens (NAC shell ). Results: The present study shows that active immunization with IP18-KLH generates antibodies that are highly selective for nicotine. Furthermore, immunization with IP18-KLH prevented...
