Single potassium channels opened by opioids in rat locus ceruleus neurons.
Currents through single-ion channels were recorded in the cell-attached configuration from locus ceruleus neurons enzymatically dissociated from newborn rats. When the selective mu opioid receptor agonist Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-MePhe-Gly-ol was in the patch-clamp electrode, unitary inward currents were observed with conductance of approximately 45 pS (measured at zero pipette potential, with 150 mM pota...
متن کاملG-protein-gated potassium channels containing Kir3.2 and Kir3.3 subunits mediate the acute inhibitory effects of opioids on locus ceruleus neurons.
Acute opioid administration causes hyperpolarization of locus ceruleus (LC) neurons. A G-protein-gated, inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK/K(G)) conductance and a cAMP-dependent cation conductance have both been implicated in this effect; the relative contribution of each conductance remains controversial. Here, the contribution of K(G) channels to the inhibitory effects of opioids on LC neuro...
متن کاملResponsiveness of locus ceruleus neurons in hypertensive rats to vasopressin.
We studied the actions of vasopressin administered microiontophoretically onto neurons of the locus ceruleus in rats with deoxycorticosterone-acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertension and in control (normotensive) rats. Rats were studied at 3 days (prehypertensive stage) and 4 to 6 weeks after DOCA-salt treatment (chronic hypertensive stage). Experiments were performed in anesthetized rats using convent...
متن کاملRole of the locus ceruleus in baroreceptor regulation of supraoptic vasopressin neurons in the rat.
The goal of this study was to identify the source of baroreceptor-related noradrenergic innervation of the diagonal band of Broca (DBB). Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent sinoaortic denervation (SAD, n = 13) or sham SAD surgery (n = 13). We examined Fos expression produced by baroreceptor activation and dopamine-beta-hydroxylase immunofluorescence in hindbrain regions that contain noradrenergi...
متن کاملMorphine desensitization and cellular tolerance are distinguished in rat locus ceruleus neurons.
μ-Opioid receptor desensitization is considered an initial step in the development of tolerance. Curiously, the commonly used opioid morphine produces robust tolerance but minimal acute desensitization. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that desensitization is indeed present in morphine-treated animals and is distinguished from cellular tolerance by time course of recovery and mech...
