Abstract
Abstract The effects of sub-analgetic and analgetic doses of morphine (5–20 mg/kg) on the metabolism of intravenously administered [ 14 C]-tyrosine (200 uCi/kg) in the mouse brain were investigated. A significantly increased conversion of [ 14 C]-tyrosine to the [ 14 C]-catecholamines was observed only at an analgetic dose of morphine. Furthermore, morphine increased the specific activity of brain [ 14 C]-tyrosine and this effect was blocked by naloxone, a morphine antagonist.
