Influence of the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus on intraocular pressure and the role of opioid peptides.

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundAn opioid peptide neuron/humoral feedback regulation might be involved in changes of intraocular pressure (IOP). The aims of this study are to investigate the effects of arcuate nucleus (ARC) and opioid peptides on intraocular pressure (IOP ...

Pregabalin dependence, withdrawal, suicidality and psychosis reports: A disproportionality analysis of the Australian adverse events database

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Globally, Australia has the highest per capita consumption rate of pregabalin, commonly prescribed for neuropathic pain. Emerging evidence suggests pregabalin may be associated with the onset or recurrence of several potentially life‐threatening psychiatric events in some individuals.

Peroxiredoxin 6 mediates Gαi protein-coupled receptor inactivation by cJun kinase

Nature Communications, 2017
Opioid receptors are important modulators of nociceptive pain. Here the authors show that opioid receptor activation recruits peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) to the receptor-Gαi complex by c-Jun N-terminal kinase, resulting in Gαi depalmitoylation and enhanced ...

Measuring ligand efficacy at the mu-opioid receptor using a conformational biosensor. [PDF]

, 2018
The intrinsic efficacy of orthosteric ligands acting at G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) reflects their ability to stabilize active receptor states (R*) and is a major determinant of their physiological effects.

Stress-induced reinstatement of nicotine preference requires dynorphin/kappa opioid activity in the basolateral amygdala [PDF]

, 2016
UNLABELLED: The dynorphin (DYN)/kappa-opioid receptor (KOR) system plays a conserved role in stress-induced reinstatement of drug seeking for prototypical substances of abuse.

Prescription use of acetaminophen among pregnant women in Denmark from 2000 to 2023: A drug utilization study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims The aim of this study was to describe prescription use of acetaminophen, a widely used analgesic and antipyretic generally considered safe during pregnancy, among pregnant women from 2000 to 2023 in Denmark with special attention towards variations following the change in over‐the‐counter (OTC) availability in 2013.

Central Injection of Endomorphin-2, but not Endomorphin-1, Increases Food Intake in Chicks via μ1-opioid Receptors

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2007
The endogenous tetrapeptides endomorphin-1 and -2 are potent, selective μ-opioid receptor agonists in mammals. The present study was done to elucidate whether central injection of endomorphins enhances feeding behavior in chicks, and to investigate ...

A Theory of Natural Addiction [PDF]

, 2007
Economic theories of rational addiction aim to describe consumer behavior in the presence of habit-forming goods. We provide a biological foundation for this body of work by formally specifying conditions under which it is optimal to form a habit.

The persistence of chronic opioid use in patients with inflammatory bowel disease—A nationwide cohort study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Pain is common in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), and a substantial proportion develop chronic opioid use (COU). We examined the persistence of COU over time and identified factors predicting persistent use. Methods This nationwide Danish cohort study included patients with an initial period of COU (definition: ≥3 ...
