    Summary
    but when for 5 days rats were injected twice daily with the same dose of peptide, the acute i.c.v. injection of dermorphin no longer produced a significant delay in G.E. demonstrating an establishment of tolerance to this effect.

    Summary
    When dermorphin was i.c.v. infused by a minipump, tolerance to delay of G.E. was inversely proportional to infusion time and it took 2 days to establish tolerance to this peripheral effect.
