To study the role of locus coeruleus (LC) noradrenergic neurons in the opioid dependence.
Chemical lesion of LC was produced by 6-hydroxydopamine (4 micrograms in 1 microL). Reserpine (Res) was used to deplete central noradrenaline. Composite scores of naloxone (4 mg.kg-1, ip) precipitated abstinence syndromes were calculated and the magnitude of weight loss was determined in chronic morphine (Mor)- or dihydroetorphine (DHE)-treated rats.
Lesions of LC made Mor, but not DHE, abstinence syndrome more serious. Multiple doses of Res (0.5 mg.kg-1.d-1 x 3 d) increased scores of Mor and DHE abstinence syndrome, made worse the loss of body weight in chronic Mor-, but not DHE-, treated rats. A single dose of Res (0.5 mg.kg-1) speeded up the development of physical dependence on Mor.
The LC noradrenergic neurons play a role in suppression of some withdrawal symptoms.
研究蓝斑(LC)去甲肾上腺素能神经元在阿片类药物依赖中的作用。
用6-羟基多巴胺(4微克溶于1微升)对LC进行化学损毁。利血平(Res)用于耗尽中枢去甲肾上腺素。计算纳洛酮(4毫克·千克-1,腹腔注射)诱发的戒断综合征的综合评分,并测定慢性吗啡(Mor)或二氢埃托啡(DHE)处理大鼠的体重减轻幅度。
损毁LC使Mor而非DHE的戒断综合征更严重。多次给予Res(0.5毫克·千克-1·天-1×3天)增加了Mor和DHE戒断综合征的评分,使慢性Mor处理而非DHE处理大鼠的体重减轻更严重。单次给予Res(0.5毫克·千克-1)加速了对Mor身体依赖的发展。
