Differential cardiovascular effects of mu, delta and kappa opiate agonists at discrete hypothalamic sites in the anesthetized rat. 1982

G Feuerstein, and A I Faden

Cardiovascular and respiratory activity of mu, delta and kappa opioid agonists were investigated utilizing microinjections into the n. preopticus medialis (POM) and periventricularis hypothalami (HPV) of anesthetized rats. Injections of the relative mu agonists Morphine and Morphiceptin the delta agonist D-Ala2, D-Leu5-Enkephalin (DADL) or the putative kappa agonist Dynorphin 1-13 into the HPV caused hypotension and bradypnea; Morphine produced tachycardia while DADL and Dynorphin bradycardia. In the POM, injections of Morphine or DADL increased blood pressure and heart rate whereas Dynorphin caused hypotension and bradycardia. At this site, the mu agonist D-Ala2-MePhe4-Gly5-ol-Enkephalin (DAGO) produced hypotension, tachycardia and bradypnea, DAGO and DADL but not Morphine or Dynorphin also caused bradypnea in this region. These data show that the central cardiovascular and respiratory effects of opioids vary according to injection site and opioid subtype and may differ from findings obtained using cerebroventricular injections.

D012119 Respiration The act of breathing with the LUNGS, consisting of INHALATION, or the taking into the lungs of the ambient air, and of EXHALATION, or the expelling of the modified air which contains more CARBON DIOXIDE than the air taken in (Blakiston's Gould Medical Dictionary, 4th ed.).

D004399 Dynorphins A class of opioid peptides including dynorphin A, dynorphin B, and smaller fragments of these peptides. Dynorphins prefer kappa-opioid receptors (RECEPTORS, OPIOID, KAPPA) and have been shown to play a role as central nervous system transmitters. Dynorphin,Dynorphin (1-17),Dynorphin A,Dynorphin A (1-17)
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
D004743 Enkephalin, Leucine One of the endogenous pentapeptides with morphine-like activity. It differs from MET-ENKEPHALIN in the LEUCINE at position 5. Its first four amino acid sequence is identical to the tetrapeptide sequence at the N-terminal of BETA-ENDORPHIN.
