“Dibutyryl … aminophylline and papaverine, and adenosine (which stimulates adenyl cyclase) all caused a variable increase in uptake of norepinephrine at concentrations ranging … 10−4 M. Prostaglandins E1 and E2 appeared to have no effect on uptake, but this may be because the alcohol required to dissolve … effect on uptake.”
“On the contrary, the association of ethanol and aminophylline increased the norepinephrine and dopamine content, while it decreased DOPAC when compared to the ethanol group, confirming the alterations observed in the behavioral tests.”
