Nociception and opioid-induced analgesia in lean (Fa/−) and obese (fa/fa) Zucker rats

Previous research indicates a possible interrelationship between the endogenous opioids (EO), nociception and food-intake. We therefore considered the hyperphagic obese Zucker rat a good candidate for abnormal responses to nociceptive stimuli. Pairs of lean and obese sisters were tested for latency...

Zusammenfassung:Previous research indicates a possible interrelationship between the endogenous opioids (EO), nociception and food-intake. We therefore considered the hyperphagic obese Zucker rat a good candidate for abnormal responses to nociceptive stimuli. Pairs of lean and obese sisters were tested for latency of response to nociceptive stimuli by tail-flick and tail-pinch methods. Obese rats exhibited shorter latencies in each test, (tail-flick, p
