Involvement of central opiate receptors in modulation of centrally administered oxytocin-induced antinociception.
Abstract
Oxytocin is involved in modulation of many brain-mediated functions. In the present study, we investigated the central effects of oxytocin and its receptor antagonist, atosiban on inflammatory pain. The contribution of opiate receptors was explored using non-selective and selective antagonists.
