Dopamine is both diuretic and saluretic in the conscious rat. The diuretic effect does not appear to be beta-receptor mediated, but rather may be the result of a combination of alpha- and dopaminergic receptor stimulation. Conclusive proof for the existence of the latter, however, must await the discovery of a more selective peripheral dopamine-receptor stimulant than is dopamine per se.
