摘要
Recent studies of knockout mice conclusively show that the mu opioid receptor mediates the analgesic effects of morphine; they further suggest that the mu opioid receptor also has a role in mediating the effects of other opioid agonists, and provide insights into the non-analgesic effects of mu opioids.
