Brain opioid receptors in the hibernating bat, Myotis lucifugus: Modification by low temperature and comparison with rat, mouse and hamster
Abstract
Several studies have provided evidence that brain opioid peptides may be involved in the control of the hibernation cycle. We have now examined the influence of hibernation on central opioid receptors. We have characterized the receptor binding properties of [3H]-naloxone in slices of the cerebral cortex and hypothalamus of the bat Myotis lucifugus. These receptors possess those characteristics expected of an opioid site namely high affinity, …
