An increase in tryptophan in brain may be a general mechanism for the effect of stress on sensitivity to pain.

Abstract:

:The role of the stress-induced increase in the uptake of tryptophan in brain in opioid-induced analgesia was investigated by modifying the uptake of amino acid in brain with injections of competing amino acids. Blockade of analgesia by valine (200 mg/kg, i.p.) alone, and by valine and tyrosine (100 mg/kg, i.p.), but not by valine and tryptophan (100 mg/kg, i.p.), was taken to indicate that an increase in the uptake of tryptophan in brain was involved in opioid-induced analgesia. Morphine-induced analgesia exhibited by rats that were habituated to the laboratory and not restrained did not involve an increase in the uptake of tryptophan in brain. However, a mild form of restraint, or exposure to a novel environment interacted with morphine to induce analgesia which involved an increase in the uptake of tryptophan in brain. These stressors did not affect sensitivity to pain in the absence of morphine. Analgesia induced by 3 hr of restraint, which was preventable by naltrexone (1 mg/kg, s.c.) but not reversible by naloxone (1 mg/kg, s.c.), also involved an increase in the uptake of tryptophan in brain. It is concluded that the endogenous opioid-induced analgesia that is induced by stress alone and analgesia induced by stress interacting with morphine, both depend on an increase in the uptake of tryptophan into the brain.
