Objective(s):Dependence and tolerance to opioid analgesics are major problems limiting their clinical application. a-Terpineol is a monoterpenoid alcohol with neuroprotective effects which is found in several medicinal plants such as Myrtus communis, Laurus nobilis, and Stachys byzantina. It has been shown that some of these medicinal plants such as S. byzantina attenuate dependence and toleran...

The role of the supraspinal nitric oxide (NO)/cyclic GMP system in the development of acute morphine antinociceptive tolerance was investigated by use of the mouse 55 degrees C warm-water tail-flick test. A single intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) pretreatment of mice with morphine (3 nmol, 140 min before testing) produced an acute antinociceptive tolerance to subsequent i.c.v. doses of morphine...

Background: Gentleness, ease and compromise with others cause the proper development of human emotions and in religious texts it is referred to as "tolerance". This moral virtue has a high importance and position among different schools and religious teachings, so the main question in this study was how the relationship between the moral virtues of tolerance in the school of liberalism with thi...

There is emerging evidence that children with egg and cow's milk allergy who can tolerate these allergens cooked in baked goods are more likely to develop tolerance. As a result a hypothesis has arisen that exposure to egg and milk in baked goods may hasten tolerance development; however, it is unclear whether children who develop tolerance do so because they have ingested low levels of egg or ...

The effect of naloxone given at various times after morphine administration on the development of tolerance to and dependence on a single dose of morphine was studied. Naloxone antagonized the analgesic effect of morphine and the development of tolerance to and dependence on morphine, dose dependently. The time course of the development of tolerance to a single dose of morphine almost parallele...

We studied the effects of sildenafil, a selective inhibitor of PDE5, on the development and the expression of tolerance to diazepam (DZ)-induced motor impairment and sedation in mice. DZ-induced motor incoordination was assessed by the rotarod and chimney tests, and DZ-induced sedation was examined using a photocell apparatus. Sildenafil treatment enhanced the development of tolerance to the mo...
