Visualizing endogenous opioid receptors in living neurons using ligand-directed chemistry
eLife, 2019 Identifying neurons that have functional opioid receptors is fundamental for the understanding of the cellular, synaptic and systems actions of opioids. Current techniques are limited to post hoc analyses of fixed tissues. Here we developed a fluorescent

Opposite effects of neuropeptide FF on central antinociception induced by endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2 in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Neuropeptide FF (NPFF) is known to be an endogenous opioid-modulating peptide. Nevertheless, very few researches focused on the interaction between NPFF and endogenous opioid peptides. In the present study, we have investigated the effects of NPFF system

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.

Annals of Medicine, 1995 Recent experimental and clinical research has demonstrated that opioids can produce potent and receptor-specific analgesic effects outside the central nervous system. Opioid receptors are localized on peripheral terminals of sensory nerves and their endogenous ligands, opioid peptides, have been discovered in immune cells within inflamed tissue.

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2014 Opioids selective for the G protein-coupled mu opioid receptor (MOR) produce potent analgesia and euphoria. Heroin, a synthetic opioid, is considered one of the most addictive substances, and the recent exponential rise in opioid addiction and overdose ...

Assessment of Pain Types in Recently Diagnosed Patients With Inflammatory Arthritis
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Up to 40% of patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) experience persistent pain, traditionally thought to be associated with a shift from peripherally to centrally mediated pain during the disease course in some patients. We assessed sensory profiles of recently diagnosed individuals with IA, hypothesizing that pain reported at this early ...

Evaluation of the analgesic effect of 4-anilidopiperidine scaffold containing ureas and carbamates [PDF]
, 2016 Fentanyl is a powerful opiate analgesic typically used for the treatment of severe and chronic pain, but its prescription is strongly limited by the well-documented side-effects.

Impact of Positive Lifestyle Behaviors on Direct Health Care Cost Savings for Low Back Pain
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective This study aimed to investigate the relationship between a previously purpose‐developed lifestyle behavior scale and health care cost savings related to low back pain (LBP). Methods This longitudinal study used data from the Australian Twin Back (AUTBACK) study. LBP and lifestyle behavior measures were collected at baseline. Physical activity
