The effects of the specific N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor antagonist MK-801 (0.075 mg/kg), and the specific opiate receptor antagonist naloxone (10 mg/kg), on swim stress-induced analgesia (SSIA) were studied in opiate receptor-deficient (CXBK) and opiate receptor-rich (CXBH) mice. Animals were subjected to forced swimming, and analgesia was assessed using the hot-plate test. In CXBK mice SSIA was blocked by MK-801 but was completely insensitive to naloxone. In CXBH mice SSIA was partially attenuated both by naloxone and MK-801, and it was nearly abolished by a combination of these drugs. Morphine analgesia (10 mg/kg) was abolished by naloxone but completely unaffected by MK-801 in CXBH mice. These findings suggest that the NMDA receptor is critically involved in the non-opioid component of SSIA.
在缺乏阿片受体的(CXBK)小鼠和富含阿片受体的(CXBH)小鼠中,研究了特异性N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸(NMDA)受体拮抗剂MK-801(0.075毫克/千克)和特异性阿片受体拮抗剂纳洛酮(10毫克/千克)对游泳应激诱导镇痛(SSIA)的影响。对动物进行强迫游泳,并使用热板试验评估镇痛效果。在CXBK小鼠中,SSIA被MK-801阻断,但对纳洛酮完全不敏感。在CXBH小鼠中,SSIA被纳洛酮和MK-801部分减弱,并且这两种药物联合使用时几乎完全消除。在CXBH小鼠中,纳洛酮可消除吗啡镇痛(10毫克/千克),但MK-801对其完全无影响。这些发现表明,NMDA受体在SSIA的非阿片类成分中起关键作用。
