Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The yawns and penile erection elicited in rats by apomorphine (100 micrograms/kg SC) are dose-dependently suppressed by the enkephalinase-resistant analog of NT, [D-Trp11]NT, intracerebroventricularly (ICV) injected (10-120 ng per rat). This antagonistic effect was shared by NT (0.75-3 micrograms per rat) administered ICV. The yawns induced by pilocarpine (2 mg/kg IP) were similarly antagonized by [D-Trp11]NT (30-120 ng per rat). The enkephalinase inhibitor acetorphan (5 mg/kg IV) reduced in a naloxone (2 mg/kg, SC)-resistant manner the apomorphine-induced penile erection or yawning.
