Nitrous oxide antinociception in the abdominal constriction test was significantly reduced in mice pretreated intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) with beta-chlornaltrexamine (beta-CNA). However, this antagonism was reversed when the beta-CNA was co-administered i.c.v. with the kappa-opioid ligand U-50,488H but not the mu-opioid ligand
Microinjection of opioids into the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG) produces antinociception in part by binding to mu-opioid receptors (MOPrs). Although both high and low efficacy agonists produce antinociception, low efficacy agonists such as morphine produce limited MOPr internalization suggesting that

Dissociation constants (KA) for [D-Pen2,5]enkephalin (DPDPE) inhibition of the electrically evoked twitch of the mouse isolated vas deferens preparation (MVD) were calculated at five temperatures (25, 30, 34, 37 and 40 degrees C). These values were determined from the equiactive

We have exploited the availability of the "orphan" opioid receptor (referred to here as ORL1) in its "natural state" to investigate the effect of nociceptin (orphanin FQ), the endogenous agonist for the ORL1 receptor in the brain, vas deferens, and
Agonist-selective actions of opioids on the desensitization of mu-opioid receptors (MORs) have been well characterized, but few if any studies have examined agonist-dependent recovery from desensitization. The outward potassium current induced by several opioids was studied using whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings
