• Methods Patch-clamp recordings of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs) and dorsal root evoked currents (eEPSC) in spinal cord slices superficial dorsal horn neurons were used to evaluate the effect of mu OR agonist [D-Ala(2), N-Me-Phe(4), Gly(5)-ol]-enkephalin (DAMGO), CCL2, TRPV1 antagonist SB366791 and minocycline.

  • Importantly, μ-opioid receptor agonist [D-Ala 2 , N -Me-Phe 4 ,Gly 5 ]-ol-enkephalin (DAMGO) significantly elevated the mechanical thresholds of nociceptive Aδ and C fibres. (biomedcentral.com)
  • These effects were blocked by DAMGO washout and pre-treatment with the selective μ-opioid receptor antagonist Cys 2 -Tyr 3 -Orn 5 -Pen 7 -amide. (biomedcentral.com)

  • 5. Antinociceptive tolerance to the mu-opioid agonist DAMGO is dose-dependently reduced by MK-801 in rats. (nih.gov)
  • Pharmacologically, disrupting exon 1 in this mouse completely abolished morphine analgesia, but not that of either M6G or heroin, consistent with the possibility that alternatively spliced transcripts lacking exon 1 might be responsible for the residual M6G and heroin actions.

  • In both mice and humans 5' splicing generates a number of exon 11-containing variants. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The importance of the exon 11-associated variants in mice in M6G and heroin analgesia revealed in the exon 11 knockout mouse implies that these analogous rat variants may also play similar roles in rat. (biomedcentral.com)
  • In rats, restraint exposure potentiates the magnitude and duration of analgesia following both the peripheral and intracerebroventricular administration of several opioid agonists as compared to non-stressed controls. (omeka.net)
  • [ 5 , 6 ] These guidelines recommend against using opioid analgesics for CNCP as a first-line medication because the harms frequently outweigh the benefits. (medscape.com)
  • The goal of this study was to investigate the crosstalk between the mu OR, transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) receptor and C-C motif ligand 2 (CCL2) chemokine and the involvement of spinal microglia in the modulation of opioid analgesia. (cas.cz)
