In order to understand the mechanism by which this effect is produced, the effects of the possible metabolites of Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2 on the development of tolerance to the analgesic effects of morphine were determined in male Sprague-Dawley rats.
Rats were made tolerant to morphine by the subcutaneous implantation of four pellets of morphine over a 3-day period.
