摘要
Our previous report suggested that antagonists acting at NMDA receptors attenuate discriminative stimulus effects of naloxone in morphine dependent rats. Nitric oxide (NO) is a putative second messenger which mediates NMDA receptor activation. The present study evaluated behavioral effects of NO synthase inhibitor, 7-nitroindazole in morphine-dependent rats trained to discriminate 0.1 mg/kg naloxone from saline. 7-Nitroindazole did not significantly affect naloxone's discriminative stimulus effects but decreased naloxone-induced weight loss and abolished expression of several withdrawal signs - diarrhea, scream on touch, tremor and 'wet dog'-like shaking suggesting different mechanisms for subjective and somatic components of opioid withdrawal.
