Both MIF and cyclo(Leu-Gly) inhibited the development of tolerance to the analgesic response to a challenge dose of morphine in peptide-treated as compared to vehicle-treated morphine-tolerant mice.
3 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
Administration of MIF or cyclo(Leu-Gly) during induction of tolerance in doses (2 mg/kg/day for 3 days) that inhibited the development of tolerance to morphine-induced analgesia and locomotor depressant activity, did not alter the development of tolerance to the locomotor stimulant effect.
The effects of prolyl-leucyl-glycinamide (melanotropin release inhibiting factor, MIF) and cyclo(Leu-Gly) on development of tolerance to the analgesic, locomotor stimulant and depressant effects of morphine were investigated in the mouse.
Mice were made tolerant to morphine by subcutaneous implantation of pellet (each pellet contained 75 mg of morphine free base) for three days.
