Backgrounds and aims: Pancreatic dopamine regulates insulin secretion in an autocrine manner,but the tyrosine hydroxylase(TH),a time-limiting enzyme for dopamine synthesis,is not present in islet.How is the dopamine synthesized in pancreas? Dopamine receptor 2(D2)is exclusively distributed in the somatostatin(SST)-secreting δ cells,not insulin(INS)-secreting β cells in rat pancreatic islets.
