Dual mechanism mediating opiate effects?
نویسندگان
چکیده
drawal, we cannot accept the notion, implied by Jacquet's formulation, that the only compounds that can induce opiatelike dependence are those that can also produce EMB, and that an ACTH receptor is critically involved in this effect.

Identification of multiple opiate receptors through neuroendocrine responses. I. Effects of agonists.
The effects of the systemic administration of three prototypic multiple opiate receptor agonists, morphine sulfate (MS), ethylketocyclazocine methanesulfonate (EKC) and N-allylnormetazocine hydrochloride (NANMT), on the release of anterior pituitary hormones were studied in the rat. The serum levels of corticosterone, growth hormone, prolactin and luteinizing hormone were measured by radioimmun...
متن کاملEffect of Pharmacological Modulation of the Endocannabinoid System on Opiate Withdrawal: A Review of the Preclinical Animal Literature
Over the years, animal studies have revealed a role for the endocannabinoid system in the regulation of multiple aspects of opiate addiction. The current review provides an overview of this literature in regards to opiate withdrawal. The opiate withdrawal syndrome, hypothesized to act as a negative reinforcer in mediating continued drug use, can be characterized by the emergence of spontaneous ...
متن کاملModulation of sodium-sensitive GTPase by partial opiate agonists. An explanation for the dual requirement for Na+ and GTP in inhibitory regulation of adenylate cyclase.
Opiates and opioid peptides inhibit adenylate cyclase and stimulate specific low Km GTPase activity in membranes from neuroblastoma x glioma NG108-15 hybrid cells. The effects of opiate agonists on both enzymes are mediated by high affinity stereospecific receptors and require Mg2+, GTP, and Na+. In the presence of Mg2+, Na+ inhibits basal GTPase activity; opiates stimulate GTP hydrolysis by an...
متن کاملCentral opiate system modulation of the area postrema pressor pathway.
Angiotensin II, when given into the vertebral arteries, acts at the area postrema to augment central sympathetic vasomotor activity. The mechanism of action is unknown but recent evidence implicates an interaction with the opiate system. In dogs anesthetized with chloralose either alone or in combination with morphine, naloxone blunted the pressor response to vertebrally administered angiotensi...
متن کاملChronic morphine treatment increases cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity in the rat locus coeruleus.
We have studied a possible role for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in mediating opiate addiction in the central nervous system by focusing on the rat locus coeruleus. This brain region is well suited for these studies because it is relatively homogeneous and because a wealth of electrophysiological and behavioral data indicate that it plays an important role in mediating the chronic effect...
