A brief history of opiates, opioid peptides, and opioid receptors.
It is hard to decide when and where the opium poppy was first cultivated. It may have been grown for its seeds before people discovered how to prepare mekonion from the leaves and fruits of the plant or opium (from "opos," the Greek word for juice) from the liquid that appears on the unripe seed capsule when it is notched. The use of written records to decipher the early history of opium use an...
متن کاملOpioid peptides, opioid receptors and mechanism of down regulation.
Biogenesis of various endogenous opioid peptides, anatomical distribution and the characteristics of multiple receptors with which they interact provides an opportunity for understanding the role of opioid systems and mechanism of opioid tolerance. Cellular and anatomical distribution of opioid receptor and their function is important for identification of neuronal systems and local network inv...
متن کاملHypertension Brief Review The Opioid Peptides
This review is an attempt to highlight evidence that may implicate the endogenous opioid system in the pathogenesis of hypertension in humans. The evidence raised includes biochemical, physiological, pharmacological, and behavioral studies conducted in in vitro and in vivo systems, experimental models of hypertension, and humans with essential hypertension. While the compelling biochemical and ...
متن کاملOpioid Receptors of the Central Amygdala and Morphine-Induced Antinociception
The amygdala is a forebrain region, which is known as a modulator of pain sensation. The amygdala, particularly the central nucleus, has high concentrations of enkephalins relative to dynorphins and has high concentrations of opioid receptors. We here studied the role of central nuclei of amygdala in morphine antinociception. Methods: In this study, we used 130 male Wistar rats (200- 250g). Bil...
