Abstract:

Introduction: Several investigations have indicated that dopamine D receptors could influence morphine 2 eward. The influence of olanzapine (a D dopamine receptor antagonist) on the morphine-induced conditioned 2 lace preference (CPP) in male and female mice was investigated in the present study. Methods: The effects of olanzapine on the acquisition and expression of morphine CPP in male and female -MRI mice (W: 20-25 g) were investigated in the present study. Resultd: Subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of morphine (1-10 mg/kg, three drug sessions) induced place preference oth in male and female mice. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of olanzapine (0.5-5 mg/kg) induced place version (CPA) in female mice but not in male mice. Administration of olanzapine (1, 2.5, 5 mg/kg, i.p.) reduced oth the acquisition and expression of morphine-induced CPP in male and female mice. However, olanzapine (5 g/kg, i.p.) caused more than 80% mortality in female but not male mice. The effects of olanzapine were reversed y L-arginine (20 mg/kg, i.p.) pre-administration. Conlusion: We conclude that olanzapine reduced morphine effects via different mechanism/s.

Effect of linalool on the acquisition and reinstatement of morphine-induced conditioned place preference in mice

Objective: The effect of linalool, a terpene alcohol found in many plants, which inhibits NMDA receptors, on the acquisition and reinstatement of morphine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) was evaluated in mice.Material and Methods: The effects of different doses of linalool (12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg, i.p.), memantine (20 mg/kg, an NMDA receptor antagonist) and saline, in CPP induced by 4...

Effects of berberine on acquisition and reinstatement of morphine-induced conditioned place preference in mice

Objective: It has been shown that berberine, a major component of Berberis vulgaris extract, modulates the activity of several neurotransmitter systems including dopamine (Da) and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) contributing to rewarding and reinforcing effects of morphine. Drug craving and relapsing even after a long time of abstinence therapy are the most important problems of addiction. In the p...

The Effects of Isoniazid on the Acquisition and Expression of Morphine-Induced Conditioned Place Preference in Mice

Background: GABAergic drugs can modulate the rewarding properties of morphine. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of isoniazid, as a GABAergic agent, on the rewarding effects of morphine. Methods: Eighteen groups of female mice (eight per group) were used in a conditioned place preference (CPP) study. On the conditioning phase of the CPP p...

The role of nitric oxide in conditioned place preference induced by morphine in male mice

  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 Fruit Essential oil of Cuminum cyminum L. Reduced the Acquisition but not Expression of Ineffective dose of Morphine-Induced Conditioned Place Preference in Morphine- Sensitized Mice

Background: Cuminum cyminum fruit essential oil (FEO) dose-dependently can attenuate the expression of morphine tolerance and dependence in morphine-dependent mice. Objective: In this study, the effects of Cuminum cyminum FEO on acquisition and expression of morphine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) in morphine-sensitized mice were studied. Methods: Repeated subcutaneous (s.c.) adm...
