Objectives: Inbred mouse strains differ in the pharmacology mediating sugar and fat intake and conditioned flavor preferences (CFP). C57BL/6, BALB/c and SWR inbred mice are differentially sensitive to dopamine (DA) D1, opioid and muscarinic receptor antagonism of sucrose, saccharin or fat intake, and to DA, opioid, muscarinic and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonism of acquisition of sucrose-CFP. DA D1, opioid and NMDA receptor antagonists differentially alter fat (Intralipid)-CFP in BALB/c and SWR mice. The present study examined whether naltrexone, SCH23390 or MK-801 altered acquisition and expression of Intralipid-CFP in C57BL/6 mice.Methods: In acquisition, groups of male food-restricted C57BL/6 mice received vehicle, naltrexone (1, 5 mg/kg), SCH23390 (50, 200 nmol/kg) or MK-801 (100, 200 μg/kg) before 10 training sessions in which mice alternately consumed two novel-flavored 5% (CS+) and 0.5% (CS-) Intralipid solutions. Six two-bottle CS choice tests followed with both flavors mixed in 0.5% Intralipid without injections. In expression, C57BL/6 mice underwent the 10 training sessions without injections followed by two-bottle CS choice tests 30 min following vehicle, naltrexone (1, 5 mg/kg), SCH23390 (200, 800 nmol/kg) or MK-801 (100, 200 μg/kg).Results: Fat-CFP acquisition in C57BL/6 mice was significantly though marginally reduced following naltrexone, SCH23390 and MK-801. Fat-CFP expression was similarly reduced by naltrexone, SCH23390 and MK-801 in C57BL/6 mice. Discussion: C57BL/6 mice were more sensitive to DA D1, opioid and NMDA antagonists in the expression of fat-CFP relative to sugar-CFP, but were less sensitive to DA D1 and NMDA antagonists in the acquisition of fat-CFP relative to sugar-CFP.

D008810	Mice, Inbred C57BL	One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D009271	Naltrexone	Derivative of noroxymorphone that is the N-cyclopropylmethyl congener of NALOXONE. It is a narcotic antagonist that is effective orally, longer lasting and more potent than naloxone, and has been proposed for the treatment of heroin addiction. The FDA has approved naltrexone for the treatment of alcohol dependence.	Antaxone,Celupan,EN-1639A,Nalorex,Naltrexone Hydrochloride,Nemexin,ReVia,Trexan,EN 1639A,EN1639A

D010743	Phospholipids	Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system.

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.

D004655	Emulsions	Colloids formed by the combination of two immiscible liquids such as oil and water. Lipid-in-water emulsions are usually liquid, like milk or lotion. Water-in-lipid emulsions tend to be creams. The formation of emulsions may be aided by amphiphatic molecules that surround one component of the system to form MICELLES.	Emulsion
