Abstract
The injection of ACTH 1--24 into the cerebral ventricles in rats markedly reduces the reaction time in the hot-plate test and the nociception threshold in the tail-stimulation test. Morphine antagonizes and naloxone potentiates this hyperalgesic effect of ACTH. It is proposed that ACTH peptides play a physiological role in nociception.Entities:
