Abstract excerpt
Heroin administered i.c.v. acts on supraspinal mu opioid receptors in ICR mice but on delta receptors in Swiss Webster mice. The purpose of this study was to determine the degree to which genotype plays a role in the opioid receptor selectivity of heroin across a range of fully inbred strains of...
