Abstract

Several lines of biochemical and pharmacological evidence provide support for the involvement of the noradrenergic system in the expression of the somatic symptoms of opiate withdrawal. Early studies reported changes in brain noradrenaline and metabolite levels during opiate dependence. The significance of these changes has been clarified in recent microdialysis studies indicating that acute morphine decreases the extraneuronal levels of noradrenaline, whereas an increase in release of the neurotransmitter occurs during opiate withdrawal in several brain areas. Changes in the sensitivity and density of alpha 2- and beta-adrenoceptors have also been reported, probably as a consequence of the decreased presynaptic noradrenergic activity induced during morphine dependence. In addition, the administration of alpha 2-agonists, such as clonidine, or beta-antagonists, such as propranolol, has been reported to attenuate some manifestations of opiate withdrawal. The noradrenergic structure mediating the expression of opioid abstinence seems to be the locus coeruleus. However, the activation of the locus coeruleus during morphine withdrawal seems to be primarily due to the afferent projections containing excitatory amino acids and derived from the nucleus paragigantocellularis, although intrinsic modifications, consisting of an up-regulation of the cAMP pathway, seem also to be involved in this activation. The participation of the mesolimbic dopaminergic system in opiate dependence and its relation with the changes produced in the noradrenergic system are also discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
