Facilitation of Development of Resistance to Morphine Analgesia by Desglycinamide9-Lysine Vasopressin

PMCID: PMC388340  PMID: 4525467

Abstract

Desglycinamide9-lysine vasopressin facilitates development of resistance to the analgesic action of morphine in mice if morphine is administered before the peptide. Desglycinamide9-lysine vasopressin is not a morphine antagonist, and does not appear to cause either hyperalgesia or alteration of the response to the technique used for evaluating analgesia.

Keywords: polypeptide, mice
