General description
Opiates derived from the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum, have been used for millenia for their anti-diarrheal, analgesic and euphoric properties. More recently, endogenous peptides, enkephalins, dynorphins, and endorphins, were found to bind to the same sites as opiate alkaloids. The receptors for the classical opioids are three related GPCRs, δ, κ, and µ (also known as OP1, OP2 and OP3, respectively), that activate Gi/o to reduce intracellular cAMP levels. Although most clinically used opioids function by activation of the µ opioid receptor, agonists of spinal δ opioid receptors have antinociceptive activity that is independent of µ. In addition, activation of δ increases locomotor activity, inhibits gastrointestinal motility, and decreases respiratory frequency (Dhawan et al., 1996). Agonists for δ opioid receptors also exhibit antidepressant-like activity in animal models (Broom et al., 2002).

The mTOR pathway is an essential regulator of cell growth and metabolism. Midbrain dopamine neurons are particularly sensitive to mTOR signaling status as activation or inhibition of mTOR alters their morphology and physiology. mTOR exists in two distinct multiprotein complexes

Hyperalgesia or increased sensitivity to pain is often found in alcoholics during alcohol withdrawal and may contribute to relapse drinking. Alternative therapies such as acupuncture and electroacupuncture (EA), through mechanisms involving opioid receptors, may reduce pain and substance dependence and
