Animals, 2021 Tortoises belong to the taxonomic family Testudinidae, which is considered one of the most imperiled families of the order Testudines. Anesthesia is often required for the medical and surgical management of large tortoises.

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2003 : The G-protein activation induced by μ-opioid receptor agonists was determined in spinal cord membranes from two types of μ-opioid receptor knockout mice: mice with a disruption of exon 1 (MOR (Exon 1)-KO) or exons 2 and 3 (MOR (Exons 2 and 3)-KO) of ...

Molecules, 2021 Opioid analgesics are clinically used to relieve severe pain in acute postoperative and cancer pain, and also in the long term in chronic pain. The analgesic action is mediated by μ-, δ-, and κ-receptors, but currently, with few exceptions for k-agonists,

Pharmacological Profiles of Oligomerized μ-Opioid Receptors
Cells, 2013 Opioids are widely prescribed pain relievers with multiple side effects and potential complications. They produce analgesia via G-protein-protein coupled receptors: μ-, δ-, κ-opioid and opioid receptor-like 1 receptors.

How μ-opioid receptor recognizes fentanyl
Nature Communications, 2021 Structures of mu-opioid receptor (mOR) in complex with morphine derivatives have been determined; but the structural basis of mOR activation by fentanyl-like synthetic opioids remains unclear.

Recent Molecular Insights into Agonist-specific Binding to the Mu-Opioid Receptor
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022 Opioid agonists produce their analgesic effects primarily by acting at the µ-opioid receptor (µOR). µOR agonists with different efficacies exert diverse molecular changes in the µOR which dictate the faith of the receptor’s signaling pathway and possibly

Methamphetamine-induced changes in the striatal dopamine pathway in μ-opioid receptor knockout mice
Journal of Biomedical Science, 2011 Background Repeated exposure to methamphetamine (METH) can cause not only neurotoxicity but also addiction. Behavioral sensitization is widely used as an animal model for the study of drug addiction.

Neurobiology of Disease, 2003 We previously reported differential alterations of the μ, δ, and κ opioid receptors following permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion. The present work studied the evolution of opioid receptor types following transient focal cerebral ischemia (tMCAO),
