Presynaptic effects of morphine and methionine-enkephalin in feline spinal cord.

B.S.R. Sastry
- 01 Apr 1979 - 
- Vol. 18, Iss: 4, pp 367-375
TLDR
The results of these studies indicate that morphine- and met-enkephalin-induced analgesia is, at least, partly due to the ability of the agents to potentiate “presynaptic inhibition” of nociceptive pathways in the spinal cord.

Multiple opiate receptor sites on primary afferent fibres

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the distribution and binding characteristics of opiate receptors on dorsal root and in various regions of the adjacent spinal cord and found that both types of opiates may exist on small-diameter primary afferents.

Opiates and opioid peptides hyperpolarize locus coeruleus neurons in vitro.

TL;DR: Opiates and opioid peptides produced a dose-dependent, stereospecific, naloxone-reversible hyperpolarization of the neuronal membrane, associated with an increase in membrane conductance in locus coeruleus neurons.

Control of Nociceptive Transmission in the Spinal Cord

TL;DR: Soldering method comprises placing a cadmium-zinc-lead solder on a copper base and exposing the solder joint to about 200 DEG C. for at least one hour to produce a copper-cadmium -zinc ternary interface barrier layer which inhibits migration.

Opiate analgesics inhibit substance P release from rat trigeminal nucleus.

T. M. Jessell, +1 more
- 11 Aug 1977 - 
TL;DR: It is reported here that opiate analgesics are able to suppress the stimulus-evoked release of SP, which may represent a mechanism for the direct spinal analgesic actions of opiates.

Analgesia mediated by a direct spinal action of narcotics.

TL;DR: Narcotic analgetics administered directly into the spinal subarachnoid space of the rat via a chronically inserted catheter produce a potent analgesia that can be antagonized by naloxone.

Effects of substance P on functionally identified units in cat spinal cord

TL;DR: Results suggest that substance P may be involved in excitatory spinal processes and that its actions may be associated specifically with nociception.

Opiate receptor binding in primate spinal cord: distribution and changes after dorsal root section.

TL;DR: A localization of receptor binding to the upper dorsal horn is reported and a fall in opiate receptor binding in this area following dorsal root section of rhesus monkey spinal cord is described.
