  • Title: Alterations in the substance P-induced anti-nociception in the central nervous system of rats after morphine tolerance.
    Author: Dong XG, Yu LC.
    Journal: Neurosci Lett; ; 381(1-2):47-50. PubMed ID: 15882788.
    Abstract:
    The present study investigated the alteration in intracerebroventricular administration of substance P-induced anti-nociception after morphine tolerance in rats. The nociceptive response latencies to noxious thermal and mechanical stimulation increased significantly after intracerebroventricular administration of SP in normal rats. The SP-induced anti-nociception decreased significantly in morphine-tolerant rats than that in opioid naive rats. The results demonstrated that SP induced significant anti-nociceptive effects in the brain in normal rats, and the SP-induced anti-nociception was attenuated significantly in morphine-tolerant rats than that in opioid naive rats, indicating an alteration in SP-induced anti-nociception in the brain after chronic morphine treatments.
