Abstract: | A class of high affinity DA receptor sites has been identified with [3H] SPIR in the anterior and pisterior lobes of rat pituitary gland. Competitive studies with DA receptor antagonists and agonists clearly demonstrated that [3H] SPIR stereospecifically labels a true dopaminergic receptor in both lobes. The physiological significance of these receptors, although still unclear, may be that of controlling the secretion of pituitary hormones and peptides. |
