Failure of the opiate antagonist naloxone to modify hypnotic analgesia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hypnotic analgesia in some respects resembles opiate analgesia. We tested the hypothesis that some features of hypnotic analgesia are mediated through neuronal pathways activating specific opiate receptors in brain. The opiate antagonist naloxone had no effect on hypnotic analgesia in three subjects. Thus, the hypothesis was not confirmed.

Potentiation of pentazocine analgesia by low-dose naloxone.
The analgesia produced by combinations of low-dose naloxone with pentazocine or morphine was studied in 105 patients with moderately severe postoperative pain after standardized surgery for removal of impacted third molars. Pain intensity was quantified using a visual-analogue scale. To eliminate the release of endogenous opioids produced by the placebo component of open drug administration, al...
متن کاملCocaine: evidence for supraspinal, dopamine-mediated, non-opiate analgesia.
Cocaine (25 mg/kg i.p.) produces analgesia in the rat within 5 min and for a duration of 90 min as determined by the formalin test or for 30 min as determined by the hot plate test. Cocaine analgesia is unaffected by doses of naloxone that are sufficient to attenuate morphine analgesia in both tests. Chlorpromazine (3 mg/kg i.p.), SCH 23390 (100 micrograms/kg i.p.; a D1 dopamine receptor antago...
متن کاملEffects of selective opiate antagonists on morphine-induced hyperalgesia in domestic fowl.
Although morphine typically produces analgesia in a variety of species, recent research has identified a biological model in which morphine produces a naloxone-reversible, paradoxical hyperalgesic response to a noxious thermal stimulus in young domestic fowl. The present study examined opioid receptor-mediation of this atypical opiate effect. Patterns of morphine hyperalgesia (1.25 to 5.0 mg/kg...
متن کاملThe effect of acute restraint stress and dexamethasone on retrieval of long-term memory in rats: an interaction with opiate system
This study investigated whether application of acute restraint stress or dexamethasone, as a glucocorticoid receptor agonist, impaired retrieval of long-term memory and if pretreatment with opiate antagonist naloxone blocked their effects on memory retrieval. Young adult male rats were trained in one trial inhibitory avoidance task (1 mA, 1.5 s foot shock). On retention test given 48 hr after t...
