Morphine analgesia and its modification by drugs altering serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine levels in the brain.

چکیده
Morphine analgesia in mice was significantly potentiated by pretreatment with 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), especially with higher dose of morphine. Morphine analgesia was antagonised by reserpine. With l-dopa it was antogonised when the dose of morphine was minimal but with increased dosage of morphine, there was no significant effect.

INVOLVEMENT OF THE SEROTONIN SYSTEM IN SSRI-INDUCED ANTINOCICEPTION
Serotonin specific reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) may induce antinociception however, the mechanism of this effect is not clear. SSRls increase 5-HT levels in neuronal synapses and facilitate serotonergic activity. In this study, therefore, the activity of para-chlorophenylalanine (pCPA), which reduces 5-HT release, and 5- hydroxy tryptophan (5-HTP), a precursor of 5-HT, were examined on the a...
متن کامل5-HT2A Serotonin Receptor Density in Adult Male Rats’ Hippocampus after Morphine-based Conditioned Place Preference
Introduction: A close interaction exists between the brain opioid and serotonin (5-HT) neurotransmitter systems. Brain neurotransmitter 5-HT plays an important role in the regulation of reward-related processing. However, a few studies have investigated the potential role of 5-HT2A receptors in this behavior. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to assess the influence of...
متن کاملStudies on the mechanism of action of tetrabenazine as a morphine antagonist II. A participation of catecholamine in the antagonism.
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 کاملThe role of spinal serotonergic system in morphine withdrawal syndrome in the rat
Previous pharmacological studies have implicated serotonergic brain systems in opiate withdrawal syndrome. Increased brain 5-HT release is associated with the development of physical dependence to morphine. Specific serotonin reuptake inhibitors, such as fluvoxamine and sertraline reduce the severity of naloxone precipitated opioid withdrawal syndrome. Other studies have shown that 5-HT system ...
