Abstract:
:The antinociceptive and temperature responses to morphine were compared in male and female rats from two different strains. Males of both the Sprague-Dawley and Wistar-Furth strains were slightly more responsive to the acute actions of morphine than were females of the same strain. However, Wistar-Furth animals required approximately twice the dose of morphine to display equivalent antinociceptive responses and four times the dose of display equivalent hypothermic responses when compared with Sprague-Dawley animals. During chronic morphine treatment, the development of tolerance was slightly more rapid in males than in females and in Sprague-Dawley animals than in Wistar-Furth animals. Gonadal hormones also influenced morphine responses. Ovariectomized rats were significantly more responsive acutely to morphine and developed tolerance less rapidly than estradiol-treated females. However, alterations of gonadal hormones in males did not affect morphine responses. These results indicate that morphine responses vary considerably between strains of animals and are influenced by gonadal hormones of females, but not of males.
