The possible modulation by opioids of substance P (SP) release at the spinal level was studied using slices of the dorsal half of the rat lumbar enlargement superfused with an artificial cerebrospinal fluid. Capsaicin (0.5 microM) selectively evoked a Ca2+-dependent overflow of SP-like material (SPLI) from primary afferent fibers which was enhanced in the presence of mu-opioid agonists (DAGO, FK 33824, sufentanyl, morphine), reduced by the delta-opioid agonist DTLET, and unaltered by the kappa-opioid agonist U 50488 H. Selective antagonists (naloxone, ICI 154129) prevented the effects of mu- and delta-opioid agonists. Neonatal capsaicin (50 mg/kg) abolished the stimulatory effect of in vitro capsaicin (0.5 microM) but not that of 30 mM K+ on SPLI outflow. This K+-induced SPLI release was unaffected by opioids. Presynaptic inhibitory control of SPLI release from capsaicin-sensitive primary afferent fibers might account for the analgesic effect of delta- but not mu- and kappa-opioid agonists at the spinal level.

D011957 Receptors, Opioid Cell membrane proteins that bind opioids and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. The endogenous ligands for opioid receptors in mammals include three families of peptides, the enkephalins, endorphins, and dynorphins. The receptor classes include mu, delta, and kappa receptors. Sigma receptors bind several psychoactive substances, including certain opioids, but their endogenous ligands are not known.

D004723 Endorphins One of the three major groups of endogenous opioid peptides. They are large peptides derived from the PRO-OPIOMELANOCORTIN precursor. The known members of this group are alpha-, beta-, and gamma-endorphin. The term endorphin is also sometimes used to refer to all opioid peptides, but the narrower sense is used here; OPIOID PEPTIDES is used for the broader group. Endorphin
D004745 Enkephalins One of the three major families of endogenous opioid peptides. The enkephalins are pentapeptides that are widespread in the central and peripheral nervous systems and in the adrenal medulla. Enkephalin
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
