Fig. 7. The effect of various D2-selective antagonists on dopamine-stimulated cAMP
production in isolated albumen glands of H. duryi. The D2-selective
inhibitors chlorpromazine (A), eticlopride (B) and haloperidol (C) and the
mixed D1/D2 antagonist butaclamol (D) affected neither basal cAMP levels nor
dopamine-stimulated cAMP production in the albumen glands. Abbreviations for
A: CON, control; DA, dopamine (*P<0.001, Tukey test);
CLR, chlorpromazine; DA+CLR, dopamine + chlorpromazine
(*P<0.001, Tukey test). Abbreviations for B: CON,
control; DA, dopamine (*P<0.01, Tukey test); ETIC,
eticlopride; DA+ETIC, dopamine + eticlopride (*P<0.01).
Abbreviations for C: CON, control; DA, dopamine
(*P<0.05, Tukey test); HAL, haloperidol; DA+HAL,
dopamine + haloperidol (*P<0.05, Tukey test).
Abbreviations for D: CON, control; DA, dopamine
(*P<0.001, Tukey test); BUT, butaclamol; DA+BUT,
dopamine + butaclamol (*P<0.001, Tukey test). All
agents were used at a concentration of 10 µmol l-1. Bars
represent the mean ± S.E.M. of 56 samples.
