magnesium oxide nanoparticles reduce anxiety induced by morphine withdrawal in adult male mice
Authors
abstract
introduction: our previous study has showed that chronic administration of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (mgo np) can reduce anxiety in adult male rat. in this study the effects of mgo np on anxiety induced by morphine withdrawal were investigated in adult male mice. methods: adult male nmri mice (weighing 27 ± 3 g) divided into groups: control, receiving intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of mgo np (1, 2.5, 5 mg/kg), morphine withdrawal groups that receiving saline or mgo np (2.5, 5 &10 mg/kg) as acute (a single injection at the test day) and chronic (co-injected with morphine for 4 days). to develop morphine dependency, increasing doses of morphine (20, 40, 80 mg/kg( injected subcutaneously for 4 days. mice received a final morphine injection (40 mg/kg) 3 hours prior to naloxone (5 mg/kg (i.p.) on the day of testing (day 4). in addicted groups, after naloxone injection, morphine withdrawal signs were evaluated. in all groups, anxiety like behavior was assessed by the elevated plus maze apparatus. results: mgo np (2.5 & 5 mg/kg) reduced anxiety like behavior (p<0.05). acute and chronic mgo np injections (5&10 mg/kg) could significantly improve/alleviate anxiety like behavior (p<0.05 & p<0.01 respectively) and reduce locomotor activity (p<0.05, acute; p<0.05, & p<0.01, chronic), rearing, climbing and weight loss in morphine withdrawn mice. conclusion: due to the positive effect of mgo np on anxiety like behavior and morphine withdrawal signs and symptoms, this nanoparticle can be a potential candidate for reducing the side effects of chronic usage of morphine and morphine withdrawal.

The involvement of nitric oxide (NO) in the reinforcing properties of opioids was studied by examining the effect of a NO precursor (L-arginine) and NO synthase inhibitor (L-nitro-amino-methyl-ester, L-NAME) on the conditioned place preference (CPP) induced by morphine. The experiment was performed on male albino Swiss- White mice (25 ± 5 g). L-arginine in doses of 100, 200 and 500 mg/kg (i.p...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of magnesium as a N-Methyl–D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor Antagnist and bromocriptine as a dopamine receptor agonist on morphine dependence and withdrawal symptoms. In the present study different groups of mice were received morphine (50 mg/kg, i.p.) for four days and on fourth day 1.5 hour after the last morphine administration they received di...
