Free dopamine in dog plasma: lack of relationship with sympathoadrenal activity

J. M. Pequignot, R. Favier, D. Desplanches, L. Peyrin and R. Flandrois

To investigate the relationship between dopamine (DA) released into the bloodstream and sympathoadrenal activity, levels of free DA, norepinephrine (NE), and epinephrine (E) in plasma were recorded in four dogs subjected to three tests: treadmill exercise at two work levels [55 and 75% maximal O2 uptake; 15 min], normobaric hypoxia (12% O2; 1 h), combined exercise and hypoxia. Normoxic exercise induced slight nonsignificant decreases in the arterial partial pressure of O2 (PaO2), increases in NE [median values and ranges during submaximal work vs. rest: 1086 (457-1,637) vs. 360 (221-646) pg/ml; P less than 0.01] and E [277 (151-461) vs. 166 (95-257) pg/ml; P less than 0.05], but it failed to alter the DA level. Hypoxia elicited large decreases in PaO2 [hypoxia vs. normoxia: 42.8 (40.3-50.0) vs. 97.6 (83.2-117.6) Torr; P less than 0.01], increases in DA [230 (105-352) vs. 150 (85-229) pg/ml; P less than 0.01] and NE [383 (219-1,165) vs. 358 (210-784) pg/ml; P less than 0.05], but it failed to alter the E level. Combined exercise and hypoxia further increased NE levels but did not alter the DA response to hypoxia alone. The data indicate that free DA in plasma may vary independently of the sympathoadrenal activity.
