Upregulation of μ-Opioid Receptor in the Rat Spinal Cord Contributes to the α2-Adrenoceptor Agonist Dexmedetomidine-Induced Attenuation of Chronic Morphine Tolerance in Cancer Pain
BACKGROUND: Sustained morphine treatment for cancer pain has been limited due to analgesic tolerance. Opioid receptor internalization and desensitization mediated by downregulation of mu-opioid receptor (MOR) expression have been confirmed as one of the mechanisms of chronic morphine tolerance. In a...
