Our results indicate a negative correlation between the amount of ethanol (10%) consumed and endogenous levels of brain [Met]enkephalin in C57BL/6J (alcohol-preferring) and DBA/2J (alcohol-nonpreferring) inbred mice strains. Additionally, it was found that 8 wk after 1-day starved groups of both C57BL/6J and DBA/2J mice were challenged with ethanol (10%) for 1-day acceptance, they had significantly lower levels of brain [Met]enkephalin compared with their nonalcohol-treated controls. These results suggest that the brain endogenous peptidyl opiates may play a crucial role in alcohol-seeking behavior.
我们的研究结果表明,在C57BL/6J(嗜酒型)和DBA/2J(非嗜酒型)近交系小鼠品系中,摄入的乙醇(10%)量与脑内[甲硫氨酸]脑啡肽的内源性水平呈负相关。此外,还发现,在C57BL/6J和DBA/2J小鼠的1天饥饿组在接受1天的乙醇(10%)刺激8周后,与未接受酒精处理的对照组相比,它们脑内[甲硫氨酸]脑啡肽水平显著降低。这些结果表明,脑内源性肽类阿片可能在觅酒行为中起关键作用。
