abstract

introduction: some studies indicate changes in the level of thyroid hormones in addicted people. also, there are some reports concerning the modulation of hypothalamus-hypophysis-thyroid axis in the context of morphine addiction. in the present study, the effects of thyroid gland activation via the acute and chronic administration of levothyroxine on morphine withdrawal syndrome were investigated. methods: frothy two adult male mice were divided into 6 groups. animals received three daily injections of morphine (20, 40, 80 mg/kg) alone or in combination with l-thyroxin (0.5 mg/kg, i.p: single dose, chronic for 4 days and chronic for 16 days). morphine withdrawal syndrome was induced using naloxone. withdrawal signs such as jumping, rearing, climbing and weight loss were recorded for 30 minutes. results: the results showed that acute levothyroxine administration increased the morphine withdrawal signs. four days administration of levothyroxine reduced the number of jumping and climbing and inhibited weight loss. administration of levothyroxine for 16 days reduced only the number of rearing. conclusions: it seems that levothyroxine via alteration of thyroid hormones level can affect morphine withdrawal signs and this effect of levothyroxine can be attenuated with its repetitive administration.

COMPARISON OF ACUTE AND CHRONIC EFFECTS OF NIFEDIPINE ON NALOXONE-PRECIPITATED MORPHINE WITHDRAWAL IN MICE

Mice were rendered tolerant and dependent to morphine by subcutaneous injection of morphine over a period of 5 days. The effects of acute and chronic administration of dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist nifedipine on the development of tolerance and naloxone-precipitated morphine withdrawal signs were investigated. A single injection of nifedipine proved to be effective in inhibiti...

Acute and Chronic Effects of Nitrendipine on Naloxone Precipitated Morphine Withdrawal in Mice

There is growing evidence indicating that neuronal calcium channels play an important role in the mechanism of morphine dependence. In this study, the effects of acute and chronic administration of nitrendipine on naloxone precipitated morphine withdrawal signs were investigated. Mice were rendered dependent to morphine by subcutaneous injection of morphine over a period of 5 days. In chronic s...
