Phylogenetic changes in the expression of delta opioid receptors in spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia
3 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
To assess the validity of rodent models for investigating the role of delta opioid receptors (DOR) in analgesia, the distribution of DOR binding and mRNA were compared between rodent and primate spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia (DRG), using receptor autoradiography and in situ hybridization, respectively. In mouse and rat spinal cord, [(125)I]-deltorphin-labeled DOR binding sites were detected throughout the...
