- The endogenous opioid system has been reported to depress the cardiovascular system during shock states, since naloxone, a potent opiate antagonist, enhances recovery of hemodynamic variables in various shock states. However, the effect of naloxone on long-term survival of experimental animals exposed to hypovolemic hypotension is not clear. The present studies tested the capacity of various doses of naloxone to protect conscious rats from mortality following various bleeding paradigms. In addition, the effect of morphine on survival of ratsThe endogenous opioid system has been reported to depress the cardiovascular system during shock states, since naloxone, a potent opiate antagonist, enhances recovery of hemodynamic variables in various shock states. However, the effect of naloxone on long-term survival of experimental animals exposed to hypovolemic hypotension is not clear. The present studies tested the capacity of various doses of naloxone to protect conscious rats from mortality following various bleeding paradigms. In addition, the effect of morphine on survival of rats exposed to hemorrhage was also examined. In the six different experimental protocols tested, naloxone treatments failed to improve short- or long-term survival; in fact, naloxone treatment reduced short-term survival in two of the experimental protocols. Morphine injection, however, enhanced the mortality of rats exposed to hemorrhage in a dose-dependent manner. It is concluded that while opiates administered exogenously decrease survival after acute bleeding, naloxone has no protective action in such states and, like morphine, it may decrease survival in some situations.…
