TL;DR
Increases in plasma concentration of dopamine in response to standing are comparable to those observed for norepinephrine and epinephrine, and maneouvres which are associated with increases in sympathetic activity areassociated with parallel increases in each of the three catecholamines.
Abstract
Increases in plasma concentration of dopamine in response to standing are comparable to those observed for norepinephrine and epinephrine. Also, bicycle exercise to maximum heart rate produced 1.5 to 2.5-fold increases above basal plasma concentrations in each of the three catecholamines. Thus, maneouvres which are associated with increases in sympathetic activity are associated with parallel increases in each of the three catecholamines. However, the origin and significance of plasma dopamine remain unknown.

A good case can be made for the concept that the physiological activity of the brain dopamine is quite different from that of brain norepinephrine, although there are as yet no experiments to positively show that dopamine is a true neuro-transmitter substance in the brain.
Life SciencesSimultaneous radioenzymatic determination of plasma and tissue adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine within the femtomole range

A radiometric-enzymatic assay for measuring simultaneously femtomole quantities of adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine has been developed and promises to be a valid alternative to the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry technique.
Life SciencesUse of plasma norepinephrine for evaluation of sympathetic neuronal function in man

Levels of norepinephrine in human plasma have been determined by a radioenzymatic technique sufficiently sensitive to measure 0.014 ng NE per ml plasma by evaluating sympathetic neuronal function based on the increments in plasma NE produced by postural change and a standard amount of exertion.
BMJIncreased plasma adrenaline concentrations in benign essential hypertension.
195 Citations1977R. Franco-Morselli, Jean‐Luc Elghozi +3 more
The finding of significantly raised plasma adrenaline concentrations in a large proportion of hypertensive patients supports the hypothesis that the activity of the sympathetic nervous system is increased in essential hypertension.

Dopamine was localized to the intraganglionic ‘small intensely fluorescent’ cells, and also to the characteristically beaded fibres forming a network in close contact with virtually all ganglion cell bodies.

A sensitive simple radiometric method for the simultaneous measurement of norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine is described and no cross-reactivity was noted for several compounds related to these catecholamines.

A gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric method was used for the determination of biogenic amines in carotid body of adult and 10 days old rats, indicating that certain storage sites in this tissue may store dopamine while in other sites dopamine is a precursor of norepinephrine.

It is shown that an accumulation of cardiac dopamine accompanies the decline of cardiac norepinephrine and this shift is a general manifestaion of augmented sympathetic nerve traffic rather than a peculiarity of hamster cardiomyopathy.

It is suggested that benign essential hypertension represents a heterogeneous entity and a continuous spectrum of clinical and biochemical changes when it is related to the level of blood pressure, which is more evident in labile hypertension.
