In Vivo Imaging of Neuronal Activity Shifts in the Somatosensory Cortex After Morphine Tolerance in Mice. [PDF]
Morphine tolerance drives reorganization of neuronal activity in the somatosensory cortex. ABSTRACT Morphine is widely used to treat severe pain, but its analgesic effect diminishes with repeated use due to the development of tolerance. Reversing this tolerance remains a clinical challenge, as its underlying mechanisms are complex and not fully ...

Src Kinase Inhibition Attenuates Morphine Tolerance without Affecting Reinforcement or Psychomotor Stimulation [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Prolonged opioid administration leads to tolerance characterized by reduced analgesic potency. Pain management is additionally compromised by the hedonic effects of opioids, the cause of their misuse.

The effect of metformin on morphine analgesic tolerance and dependence in rats
Opiate tolerance and dependence is a worldwide public health problem and gives a significant burden to society. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of metformin (MET) on development and expression of morphine tolerance and dependence in ...

Interactions of (2S,6S;2R,6R)-Hydroxynorketamine, a Secondary Metabolite of (R,S)-Ketamine, with Morphine [PDF]
Ketamine and its primary metabolite norketamine attenuate morphine tolerance by antagonising N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. Ketamine is extensively metabolized to several other metabolites.

Phosphoproteomics and bioinformatics analyses of spinal cord proteins in rats with morphine tolerance. [PDF]
Morphine is the most effective pain-relieving drug, but it can cause unwanted side effects. Direct neuraxial administration of morphine to spinal cord not only can provide effective, reliable pain relief but also can prevent the development of ...

The effects of pioglitazone, a PPARγ receptor agonist, on the abuse liability of oxycodone among nondependent opioid users [PDF]
Aims: Activation of PPARγ by pioglitazone (PIO) has shown some efficacy in attenuating addictive-like responses in laboratory animals. The ability of PIO to alter the effects of opioids in humans has not been characterized in a controlled laboratory ...
