  • Title: Analgesic effects of mu antagonists after naloxone non-reversible stress-induced analgesia.
    Author: Sacerdote P, Mantegazza P, Panerai AE.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1985 Dec 16; 359(1-2):34-8. PubMed ID: 3000523.
    Abstract:
    Three antagonists at the mu opiate receptor site: naloxone, naltrexone and diprenorphine, and one agonist-antagonist compound nalorphine, at doses usually not analgesic elicited analgesia in rats when administered after non-naloxone-reversible shock-induced analgesia had disappeared. The chi receptor antagonist, MR 2266, and the delta antagonist, ICI 154129, were all ineffective. This effect was no longer present when non-naloxone-reversible shock-induced analgesia was inhibited by the administration of the chi receptor antagonist, MR 2266. These results suggest that the mu opiate receptor may change its conformation under particular conditions such as continuous inescapable shock.
