Straub tail, the deprivation effect and addiction to aggression [PDF]
arXiv, 2006 It has been observed that male mice who are consistently winning fights with conspecifics can raise their tail, which is very similar to a morphine-induced Straub tail response. Since this response is a typical index of opiate activation, it has been proposed that the opioidergic systems of such mice are chronically activated.

Identifying Risk of Opioid Use Disorder for Patients Taking Opioid Medications with Deep Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The United States is experiencing an opioid epidemic, and there were more than 10 million opioid misusers aged 12 or older each year. Identifying patients at high risk of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) can help to make early clinical interventions to reduce the risk of OUD.

M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor facilitates the endocytosis of mu opioid receptor mediated by morphine independently of the formation of heteromeric complexes [PDF]
, 2017 Morphine inefficiency to induce the internalization of mu opioid (MOP) receptors observed in numerous experimental models constitutes a paradigm of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) functional selectivity.

Butorphanol: Effects of a Prototypical Agonist-Antagonist Analgesic on κ-Opioid Receptors
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005 The opioid analgesic, butorphanol (17-cyclobutylmethyl-3,14-dihydroxymorphinan) tartrate is a prototypical agonist-antagonist opioid analgesic agent whose potential for abuse has been the cause of litigation in the United States.
