| Research Abstract |
Rat pups were daily given footshock, just putting in a footshock apparatus or no handling from birth to twenty-one days of age. They were reared with on manipulation afterwards. After maturation, they were assesed for hot-plate paw-licking latency, morphine induced analgesia and opioid receptor binding assaya. In footshocked animals, a significant increase was found in paw-licking latency and in antinociceptive dffect of morphine(1.25, 2.5, and 5.0 mg-kg) compared with other two controls. The analgesic effect of morphine was antagonized with pretreatment of naloxone(2.0 mg/kg). No significant difference was found in binding assay( Bmax and kd for both ( Inaloxone and ( ) D-ala,D-leu-enkephalin between three groups). These results suggest thatexposure to footshock in preweanling perios has the long term effecton the sensitivity of rats to painful event, decreasing the pain sensitivity, probably through chronic fundtional changes in endogeneous opiod systemat presynaptic level rather than in postsynaptic opioid receptor activity.
