Effect of tetrabenazine on morphine analgesia in rats.

چکیده
It has been reported that some agents which increase the concentration of catecholamines in brain potentiate morphine analgesia (3). It has also been reported that reserpine which depletes catecholamines from the brain and peripheral tissue antagonizes morphine analgesia (5). Since the role of catecholamines in morphine analgesia is a subject -of great interest, it was thought worthwhile to see if tetrabenazine., which depletes catecholamines from the brain only, has any effect on analgesia caused by morphine.

Effect of Spinal and Systemic Clonidine Administration on the Postoperative Analgesia in Morphine-dependent and Naive Rats
Post operative pain and its control remains one of the most important issues in the field of surgery and health care system. Formalin test has been used as a method for assessing pain and analgesia in rats. Systemic and spinally administered clonidine, an ?2-adrenergic agonist, is proved to enhance postoperative analgesia. It has also been shown that morphine-dependent rats experience more chr...

Background: Morphine and lidocaine are known to influence the perception of pain. The present study sought to determine the influence of local administration of morphine on lidocaine-induced analgesia in morphine non-dependent (MND), morphine dependent (MD) and morphine withdrawal (MW) animals. Methods: Adult male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: Control, MND, MD and MW rats. Lidocai...

Ealier observations in this laboratory have demonstrated that tetrabenazine, a brain monoamine releaser, antagonizes morphine analgesia in mice (1) and that it antagonizes the depressive effects of morphine on the several afferent pathways in the central nervous system in cat (2). More recently it has also been demonstrated that the change of brain noradrenaline (NA) plays more important role t...
متن کاملPossible role for integrins in the development of tolerance to the analgesic effect of morphine in male rats
There is some evidence supporting the reduced activity of integrins following chronic administration of morphine. This reduction might play a role in morphine tolerance development. Manganese binds to the extracellular domain of integrins and makes them to be activated. The effect of integrins activation using manganese on tolerance development to the analgesic effect of morphine was investi...
