Endogenous opioids and baroreflex control in humans.
We describe two studies designed to elucidate the role of endogenous opioids in blood pressure control in humans. In the first study, nine normal subjects received infusions of DAMME (a metenkephalin analog), naloxone, or saline, and blood pressure, heart rate, and plasma norepinephrine concentration were determined supine and following 5 minutes of 70 degrees head-up tilt at intervals for 6 ho...
متن کاملFeeding Releases Endogenous Opioids in Humans.
The endogenous opioid system supports a multitude of functions related to appetitive behavior in humans and animals, and it has been proposed to govern hedonic aspects of feeding thus contributing to the development of obesity. Here we used positron emission tomography to investigate whether feeding results in hedonia-dependent endogenous opioid release in humans. Ten healthy males were recruit...
متن کاملEndogenous opioids regulate social threat learning in humans
Many fearful expectations are shaped by observation of aversive outcomes to others. Yet, the neurochemistry regulating social learning is unknown. Previous research has shown that during direct (Pavlovian) threat learning, information about personally experienced outcomes is regulated by the release of endogenous opioids, and activity within the amygdala and periaqueductal gray (PAG). Here we r...
متن کاملBaroreflex Responses in Humans
The aim of this study was to assess the influence of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) on arterial baroreflex chronotropic responses and to investigate whether this effect of ANF is affected by angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition (CEI). For this purpose, in 13 normal volunteers, the reflex chronotropic responses to arterial baroreceptor stimulation (phenylephrine, 25-100 jig i.v.) or deactiv...
متن کاملBaroreflex control of the cutaneous active vasodilator system in humans.
Cutaneous arterioles are controlled by vasoconstrictor and active vasodilator sympathetic nerves. To find out whether the active vasodilator system is under baroreceptor control, laser-Doppler velocimetry and the local iontophoresis of bretylium were combined to allow selective study of the active vasodilator system. Each of six subjects had two forearm sites (0.64 cm2) treated with bretylium t...
