Depressant and excitant effects of intraspinal microinjections of morphine and methionine-enkephalin in the cat.

Abstract:

:The effects of intraspinal microinjectins of morphine (10 microgram) and methionine-enkephalin (Met-enkephalin) (5 microgram) on the C-fiber and polysynaptic reflexes in the acute decerebrate low spinal cat were investigated. Microinjected into the dorsal horn, morphine and Met-enkephalin depressed the nociceptive C-fiber reflex (CFR) without altering the short latency polysynaptic reflex. Microinjected into the ventral horn, morphine and Met-enkephalin facilitated the C-fiber and polysynaptic reflexes. Pretreatment of the cats with intravenous naltrexone (2 mg/kg) antagonized the depressant effects produced by dorsal horn intraspinal microinjections of morphine and Met-enkephalin. The excitant effects of ventral horn microinjections of morphine were not antagonized by naltrexone (2 mg/kg). These results support a hypothesis that the analgesic effects of morphine at the spinal cord level are due to interactions with opiate receptors in the dorsal horn.
