  • Title: Analysis of opioid receptor subtype antagonist effects upon mu opioid agonist-induced feeding elicited from the ventral tegmental area of rats.
    Author: Lamonte N, Echo JA, Ackerman TF, Christian G, Bodnar RJ.
    Journal: Brain Res; 2002 Mar 01; 929(1):96-100. PubMed ID: 11852035.
    Abstract:
    The present study examined opioid receptor(s) mediation of feeding elicited by mu opioid agonists in the ventral tegmental area using general or selective opioid antagonist pretreatment. Naltrexone as well as equimolar doses of selective mu and kappa, but not delta opioid antagonists in the ventral tegmental area significantly reduced mu agonist-induced feeding, indicating a pivotal role for these receptor subtypes in the full expression of this response.
