Abstract excerpt
Recombinant-inbred CXBK mice have been used for various studies as putative mu-opioid-receptor deficient mice. However, CXBK mice have never been compared with gene-targeting mice lacking the mu-opioid receptor (muKO) and the K-opioid receptor (kappaKO). Here we report that CXBK mice show distinct behavioural phenotype in opioid-induced analgesia and sedation. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of morphine (3...
