Abstract excerpt
The widely abused prescription opioid oxycodone is a mu-opioid receptor (MOP-r) agonist and addiction to such opioids is a relapsing disorder. The human MOP-r gene (OPRM1) has an important functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), A118G, which affects risk of severe opioid use disorders. A112G (G/G) knock-in mice are models of human A118G carriers. We examined oxycodone self-administration (SA) in male and...
