Antihyperalgesic Effect of Buprenorphine Involves Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ Peptide–Receptor Activation in Rats With Spinal Nerve Injury–Induced Neuropathy
Abstract.: We evaluated the effect of buprenorphine, a mixed agonist for μ-opioid receptors and nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide (NOP) receptors, in neuropathic rats, using the paw pressure test. Buprenorphine, administered i.p. at 50, but not 20, μg/kg, exhibited naloxone-reversible analgesic activit...
