Summary
-
1.
Dopamine increases cAMP production in the salivary gland ofNauphoeta cinerea.
-
2.
This effect is mimicked by 6,7-ADTN and blocked by fluphenazine.
-
3.
Although dopamine is a neurotransmitter in this tissue and elicits fluid secretion and hyperpolarization, the physiological significance of the biochemical effect of dopamine is unknown.
