Respiratory rate, relative tidal volume and respiratory minute volume also increased unrelated to changes in locomotor activity. Higher doses, on the other hand, produced catalepsy and respiratory depression. Pretreatment of the rats with the mu,-selective antagonist naloxonazine (10 mg/kg i.v.) blocked the stimulant locomotor and respiratory effects of low doses of dermorphin (1 0--1 00 pmol/kg), but potentiated the respiratory depressant effect of a high dose (1 0 nmol/kg) of dermorphin. The selective benzodiazepine antagonist flumazenil (5 mg/kg), which has been shown previously to antagonize catalepsy and respiratory depression produced by relatively high doses of dermorphin, did not antagonize the respiratory or locomotor stimulant effect of dermorphin. The data suggest that mu\(_1\)-opioid receptors are responsible for the low dose stimulant effects of dermorphin on locomotor activity and respiration whereas mu\(_2\) receptors mediate the respiratory depressant effect of dermorphin.}, subject = {Neurobiologie}, language = {en} } @article{HallenbeckDutkaKochaneketal.1988, author = {Hallenbeck, JM and Dutka, AJ and Kochanek, PM and Sir{\´e}n, Anna-Leena and Pezeskpour, GH and Feuerstein, G.}, title = {Stroke risk factors prepare rat brainstem tissues for a modified localized Shwartzman reaction}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-47971}, year = {1988}, abstract = {Stroke risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, advanced age, and genetic predisposition to stroke were demonstrated to prepare rat brainstem tissues for a modified local Shwartzman reaction.

Brainstem infarcts developed in only a small proportion of rats without recognized risk factors after intracisternal injection of endotoxin. Thus, stroke risk factors, whieh are ordinarily regarded as operating through acceleration of atherosclerosis, may predispose to brain ischemia by local effects on brain mierocirculation such as those thought to underlie preparation of a tissue for the local Shwartzman reaction.}, subject = {Gehirn}, language = {en} } @article{FeuersteinZerbeSiren1991, author = {Feuerstein, G. and Zerbe, R.

To study the potential mechanisms involved in this phenomenon, rats were chronically implanted with catheters in the femoral vessels and morphine (1.5 or 5 mg/kg) was administered 30 min or 24 hr after bleeding (8.5 mll300 g over 5 min) while arterial blood pressure and heart rate were continuously monitored. Furthermore, the effect of morphine (5 mg/kg) on cardiac output (CO) response to hemorrhage was studied in rats chronically equipped with a mini thermistor for CO monitoring by a thermodilution technique. In addition, plasma catecholamines (HPLC), plasma renin activity (PRA, RIA), vasopressin (RIA), pH, and blood gases were also determined. Morphine administration 30 min after hemorrhage produced a pressor response and tachycardia which were in marked contrast to its depressor effect in intact rats. Morphine elevated PRA and epinephrine but not vasopressin, while blood pH and gases showed no consistent change as compared to salinetreated hemorrhaged rats. Morphine given after the bleeding resulted in enhanced cardiac depression in response to a second bleed of 2 m1l300 g. Our data suggest that activation of pressor mechanisms by morphine during hypovolemic hypotension might enhance vasoconstriction in essential organs, depress cardiac function, and further reduce effective tissue perfusion.}, subject = {Medizin}, language = {en} } @article{SirenFeuerstein1992, author = {Sir{\´e}n, Anna-Leena and Feuerstein, G.}, title = {The Opioid System in circulatory control}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-63045}, year = {1992}, abstract = {Opioid peptidesandmultiple opioid receptors are found in brain cardiovascular nuclei, autonomic ganglia, the heart, and blood vessels, and opioids induce potent cardiovascular changes.
