Stress-Induced Reinstatement of Drug Seeking: 20 Years of Progress [PDF]
In human addicts, drug relapse and craving are often provoked by stress. Since 1995, this clinical scenario has been studied using a rat model of stress-induced reinstatement of drug seeking.

Role of Opioid Ligands in the Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Endogenous opioid peptides – enkephalins, beta-endorphin and dynorphins – are located in specific sites of the brain, the spinal cord, the autonomic ganglia and the enteric nervous system.

Does the kappa opioid receptor system contribute to pain aversion?
The kappa opioid receptor (KOR) and the endogenous peptide-ligand dynorphin have received significant attention due the involvement in mediating a variety of behavioral and neurophysiological responses, including opposing the rewarding properties of ...

Kappa-opioid receptor activation reinstates nicotine self-administration in mice
Voluntary drug administration is a key facet of substance use disorder (SUD). Among the substances included under SUD, nicotine is the leading cause of preventable death. Nicotine use is also particularly sensitive to relapse, with stress being the major

The study demonstrated that thidiazine compounds potentiated the action of antibiotics. The compounds associated with norfloxacin against S. aureus showed greater significance in relation to the other medications. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to the selection of resistant bacterial strains, significantly reducing the effectiveness of ...

PET imaging reveals lower kappa opioid receptor availability in alcoholics but no effect of age
Opioid receptors are implicated in alcoholism, other addictions, withdrawal, and depression, and are considered potential pharmacological targets for treatment. Our goal in the present study was to compare the availability of kappa opioid receptors (KOR)

Natural products derived from plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and minerals contain diverse bioactive classes such as alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins, tannins, and phenolics. These natural products work through different mechanisms, including ROS inhibition, NF‐κB suppression, and cytokine regulation, and exhibit wide applications across ...
