Interactions of the opioid and cannabinoid systems in reward: Insights from knockout studies
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2015 The opioid system consists of three receptors, mu, delta, and kappa, which are activated by endogenous opioid peptides (enkephalins, endorphins and dynorphins). The endogenous cannabinoid system comprises lipid neuromodulators (endocannabinoids), enzymes

Opioid Receptor-Mediated Regulation of Neurotransmission in the Brain
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 Opioids mediate their effects via opioid receptors: mu, delta, and kappa. At the neuronal level, opioid receptors are generally inhibitory, presynaptically reducing neurotransmitter release and postsynaptically hyperpolarizing neurons.

Ingested bovine amniotic fluid enhances morphine antinociception in rats [PDF]
, 2000 Ingestion by rats of rat placenta or amniotic fluid enhances opioid-mediated, or partly opioid-mediated, antinociception produced by morphine injection, vaginal or cervical stimulation, late pregnancy, and foot shock.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Lynch et al., identified novel targets on the wake‐promoting pathways that can effectively treat pain‐induced sleep disturbances. The authors demonstrated that Calcitonin gene‐related peptide‐expressing neurons (CGRP) in the external lateral parabrachial nucleus (PBelCGRP) serve as the primary relay node for pain stimuli that cause sleep disruption ...

Cellular Tolerance Induced by Chronic Opioids in the Central Nervous System
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2022 Opioids are powerful analgesics that elicit acute antinociceptive effects through their action the mu opioid receptor (MOR). However opioids are ineffective for chronic pain management, in part because continuous activation of MORs induces adaptive ...

Nitrous Oxide: Mechanism of Its Antinociceptive Action [PDF]
, 1995 Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an anesthetic gas known to produce an analgesic effect at sub-anesthetic concentrations. This analgesic property of N2O can be clinically exploited in a broad range of conditions where pain relief is indicated.

Weight Cycling Deregulates Eating Behavior in Mice via the Induction of Durable Gut Dysbiosis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Weight cycling in Humans is suspected to dysregulate eating behavior. Mice submitted to body weight cycling by alternating western‐type and regular chow diets display increased hedonic appetite when exposed to a palatable diet, reminiscent of binge‐eating episodes.
