摘要
1. The effect of naltrexone pellets containing either 10 or 30 mg of naltrexone base on the development of tolerance and physical dependence on morphine was assessed in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Tolerance-dependence on morphine was induced by s.c. implantation of six morphine pellets, each containing 75 mg morphine base for 7 days. 2. Naltrexone pellet implantation blocked the development of tolerance to the analgesic and hyperthermic effects of morphine. Similarly, naltrexone pellet implantation reversed morphine withdrawal-induced body weight loss. The effect of pellets containing 10 and 30 mg naltrexone did not differ. 3. The effect of naltrexone (10 mg) pellet implantation on various signs of naltrexone-precipitated withdrawal such as body weight loss, hypothermia and increases in urinary and fecal output was investigated. Naltrexone pellet implantation did not alter the naltrexone-precipitated withdrawal-induced body weight loss. Concurrent naltrexone pellet implantation blocked the naltrexone-precipitated withdrawal-induced hypothermia, increased fecal and urinary output in morphine-dependent rats. 4. These results indicate that a single pellet of 10 mg of naltrexone can effectively block morphine tolerance and physical dependence in the rat. Such a procedure may be useful in studying biochemical, endocrinological and immunological mechanisms involved in opioid addiction processes.
