Abstract
The influence of a 60-min exposure to 75% nitrous oxide/25% oxygen upon concentrations of methionine-enkephalin-like immunoreactivity (MELI) in discrete brain regions was investigated in conscious rats. Compared to room air-exposed control animals, nitrous oxide-exposed rats had 12-18% increases in MELI in the brainstem, spinal cord, hypothalamus and corpus striatum. There were no significant differences between control and nitrous oxide-exposed rats in levels of MELI in the cerebral cortex or diencephalon.Entities:
