Dopamine is a small molecule traditionally regarded as a brain-derived neuronal modulator implicated in many neurological and psychiatric disorders. Outside the brain, dopamine fulfills all the criteria of a circulating hormone which affects normal and abnormal functions of multiple organs and regulatory systems and is also involved in many aspects of cancer formation and progression. This book provides a much needed systematic account of dopamine as an endocrine and autocrine/paracrine hormone and fills a major gap in the overall understanding of the production, distribution and actions of this very important molecule.

Key Features:

  • Explores the many different faces of dopamine as autocrine, paracrine and endocrine molecule
  • Documents the adverse effects of antipsychotics on dopamine functions
  • Reviews the many ways dopamine affects the cardiovascular, renal and reproductive systems
  • Provides updates on receptor oligomerization and signaling
  • Examines the role of dopamine in tumorigenesis

Industry Reviews

"With a highly thoughtful organization and progression, this robust book is a
thorough investigation into what researchers would find useful for further
study. This book is recommended to those pursuing original research, as it lays
out the numerous pathways that have already been characterized to date. To
broaden the audience to more clinicians, it could better highlight clinical
correlates and related pharmacological interventions. Clinical students and
providers may have trouble digesting the basic-science-heavy nature of this
book and likely would prefer alternative sources specifically relevant to their
field of practice." - Victor S Wang, MD (Thomas Jefferson University)
