Naloxone antagonizes the local antihyperalgesic effect of fentanyl in burnt skin of healthy humans [PDF]
, 2007 The aim of this study was to investigate local opioid effects in the inflamed skin of healthy human volunteers. To induce inflammation, the circular tip of a 10-mm-diameter probe was heated to 48°C and applied for 120 seconds to a site on each forearm of

Social trauma and the mu-opioid system in depression [PDF]
, 2011 The overarching thesis under investigation is that the endogenous opioid system plays a key role in depression subsequent to traumatic childhood social experiences. This is suggested by the fact that animal work indicates that mu-opioids robustly mediate

The effect of subcutaneous naloxone on experimentally induced pain [PDF]
, 2008 The heat pain threshold was assessed in 32 healthy participants after a mild burn on the dorsal surface of each hand, after injection of an opioid antagonist (80 μg naloxone) or vehicle alone (0.2 mL saline) into the burnt skin of 1 hand, and after ...

Ancestral Vertebrate Complexity of the Opioid System [PDF]
, 2015 The evolution of the opioid peptides and nociceptin/orphanin as well as their receptors has been difficult to resolve due to variable evolutionary rates.

Pain Research and Management, 2000 It has been suggested that opioid tolerance and dependence share common mechanisms with neuropathic pain. This short review deals with the role of glutamate and glutamate receptors in opioid tolerance and dependence, and neuropathic pain.

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2014 Opioids are intensely addictive, and cessation of their chronic use is associated with a highly aversive withdrawal syndrome. A cellular hallmark of withdrawal is an opioid sensitive protein kinase A-dependent increase in GABA transporter-1 (GAT-1 ...

Scientific Reports, 2022 Opioid agonists are powerful drugs for managing pain. However, their central side effects are limiting their use and drugs with similar potency, but a lower risk profile are needed. (±)-N-(3-fluoro-1-phenethylpiperidine-4-yl)-N-phenylpropionamide (NFEPP)

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.

The role of the large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel in adenosine receptor-mediated cytoprotection [PDF]
, 2009 The rat embryonic cardiomyoblast-derived H9c2 cell line is increasingly used for studies into cardioprotection, as these cells display similar properties to primary cardiomyocytes.

Wellcome Open Research, 2018 Background: Functional deletion of the Scn9a (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 9) gene encoding sodium channel Nav1.7 makes humans and mice pain-free. Opioid signalling contributes to this analgesic state.
