PET imaging reveals sex differences in kappa opioid receptor availability in humans, in vivo.
Opioid receptors may play critical roles in alcoholism and other addictions, addiction withdrawal, and depression and are considered pharmacological targets for treatment of these conditions. Sex differences have been demonstrated in mu (MOR) and delta (DOR) opioid receptors in humans, in vivo. In addition, sex differences have been observed in efficacy of treatment targeting kappa opioid recep...
متن کاملOpioid receptor PET reveals the psychobiologic correlates of reward processing.
UNLABELLED Little is known about the neurobiologic correlates of human personality. On the basis of the key role of the central opioidergic system in addiction and substance abuse, we investigated the relationship between certain personality traits that are supposed to be relevant in addiction and the opioid receptor status in healthy subjects. METHODS We investigated 23 healthy male voluntee...
متن کاملKinetic modeling of (11)C-LY2795050, a novel antagonist radiotracer for PET imaging of the kappa opioid receptor in humans.
(11)C-LY2795050 is a novel kappa opioid receptor (KOR) antagonist tracer for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. The purpose of this first-in-human study was to determine the optimal kinetic model for analysis of (11)C-LY2795050 imaging data. Sixteen subjects underwent baseline scans and blocking scans after oral naltrexone. Compartmental modeling and multilinear analysis-1 (MA1) were a...
متن کاملEffect of apelin on cardiac contractility in acute reno-vascular hypertension: The role of apelin receptor and kappa opioid receptor heterodimerization
Objective(s): Apelin/APJ system plays an important role in the regulation of myocardial contractility (MC) and blood pressure. Opioid receptors (OPRs) are also important cardiovascular regulators and exert many of their effects through modulating the function of other systems. This study analyzed the interaction between APJ and kappa OPRs (KOR) in cardiac responsiveness to apelin in acute reno-...
متن کاملDocking Studies of Kappa Opioid Receptor Agonists
The purpose of the study was to compare the binding energy of pharmacophores of different classes targeting to kappa opioid receptor (KOR) with ketazocine and pentazocine which are having good activity on the KOR. The 3D structure of KOR receptor was built by Homology modeling; pharmacophores were characterized by using Ligand scout. Docking studies for the KOR agonists were performed in Autodo...
