TY - JOUR A1 - Feuerstein, G. A1 - Sirén, Anna-Leena T1 - Opioid peptides: A role in hypertension? [Brief Review] N2 - This review is an attempt to highlight evidence that may implicate the endogenaus opioid system in the pathogenesis of hypertension in humans. The evidence raised includes biochemical, physiological, pharmacological, and behavioral studies con~ucted in in vitro andin vivo systems, experimental models of hypertension, and hornans with essential hypertension. While the compelling biochemical and pharmacological evidence in experimental animals clearly shows the presence of opioid peptides and their receptors in strategic sites of cardiovascular control and potent cardiovascular response to opioid peptides, opioid antagonists show no consistent blockade or reversal of hypertension in experimental animals or humans. One possible explanation for this phenomenon could be the vast redundancy in systems regulating blood pressure (i.e., the blockade ofone system stillleaves many other systerils fully able to rapidly offset the eliminated system). Regarding the opioid system, the situation is much more complex, since some opioid receptors (\(\mu\)-type) niediate pressor responses, while other receptors (\(\kappa\)type) mediate depressor responses. Therefore, nonselective opioid receptor antagonists (e.g., naloxone), which block both types ofreceptors, can be devoid ofany cardiovascular activity, while a selective \(\mu\)-receptor antagonist or a selective arid potent \(\kappa\)-receptor agonist may produce the desired antihypertensive elfect. A combination of both actions (i.e., a drug that is both \(\mu\)antagonist and a \(\kappa\)antagonist) might be even more advantageous. Until such compounds are developed, this hypothesis will be hard to prove.
