Abstract excerpt
1. Mice lacking the mu-opioid receptor have been recently generated. Centrally mediated responses of mu-opioid agonists are suppressed whereas some of the delta-opioid responses are preserved in these mutant mice. 2. The vas deferens bioassay has been used in this study to investigate the functional activity at a peripheral level of mu- and delta-opioid agonists in mice lacking mu-opioid receptors. 3. The...
