6. 4. Opioid-induced cholecystokinin release in the CNS-neurochemical mechanisms and effects of sciatic nerve lesion

   Author : Henrik Gustafsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Cholecystokinin (CCK) and opioid peptides have a similar distribution in the nervous system and CCK has been demonstrated to counteract opioid-induced analgesia at spinal and supraspinal level. An increased spinal release of CCK has been suggested to be a mechanism for the relative resistance to opioid analgesic drug in certain pain conditions following nerve lesions (i. READ MORE
