    Summary
    The pretreatment of mice with 30 mg/kg morphine s.c. did not alter the analgesic effect of morphine in mice pretreated with saline but decreased the analgesic effect of morphine in mice pretreated with prolyl-leucyl-glycinamide (PLG).

    Summary
    The naloxone potency of PLG-treated mice was 2-fold greater than that of control mice.
    2 context sentences
    Summary · context
    Tolerance was evaluated by the effect of PLG on morphine-induced enhancement of naloxone potency which is a measure of the capacity of naloxone to antagonize morphine-induced analgesia and is postulated to be an indicator of tolerance development.
    Summary · context
    The pretreatment of mice with 30 mg/kg morphine s.c. did not alter the analgesic effect of morphine in mice pretreated with saline but decreased the analgesic effect of morphine in mice pretreated with prolyl-leucyl-glycinamide (PLG).
