Patients with chronic airflow obstruction were given a three-week course of prednisolone 40 mg per day. The basal plasma cortisol level and response to tetracosactrin were depressed after such a course.

Repeated administration of morphine sensitizes animals to the stimulant and rewarding properties of the drug. It may also alter the expression and function of GABA receptors within the ventral tegmental area (VTA), a midbrain region that is implicated in morphine action. In the present study, the effect of activation of GABAB receptor subtypes within the VTA on morphine-induced incentive sensit...
