Selected opioids modify intake of sweetened ethanol solution among female rats. 1987

S A Czirr, and C L Hubbell, and W C Milano, and J M Frank, and L D Reid

Water-deprived female rats were given a daily, 1.5-hr opportunity to take either a sweetened ethanol solution or water. Across days, they increased their intake of ethanol solution and had stable intakes of about 2 g of pure ethanol/kg after 3 weeks. Morphine (1.0 mg/kg) alone, and in combination with diprenorphine (25 micrograms/kg), increased intake of ethanol solution among females similar to the increased intake seen with males under similar procedures. Fentanyl dose-relatedly increased intake of ethanol. The data strengthen the idea that one or more of the endogenous opioid systems, but not all, are involved with instances of "excessive" intake of alcoholic beverages.

D009294 Narcotics Agents that induce NARCOSIS. Narcotics include agents that cause somnolence or induced sleep (STUPOR); natural or synthetic derivatives of OPIUM or MORPHINE or any substance that has such effects. They are potent inducers of ANALGESIA and OPIOID-RELATED DISORDERS. Analgesics, Narcotic,Narcotic Analgesics,Narcotic,Narcotic Effect,Narcotic Effects,Effect, Narcotic,Effects, Narcotic

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.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D004174 Diprenorphine A narcotic antagonist similar in action to NALOXONE. It is used to remobilize animals after ETORPHINE neuroleptanalgesia and is considered a specific antagonist to etorphine. Diprenorphine Hydrochloride,Revivon,Hydrochloride, Diprenorphine
D005260 Female Females
D005283 Fentanyl A potent narcotic analgesic, abuse of which leads to habituation or addiction. It is primarily a mu-opioid agonist. Fentanyl is also used as an adjunct to general anesthetics, and as an anesthetic for induction and maintenance.

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.
