A genetic analysis of the response to morphine in mice: analgesia and running

A genetic analysis of the response to morphine in mice: analgesia and running

L Shuster et al. Psychopharmacologia. .

Abstract

Two progenitor strains, BALB/cBy and C57BL/6By, their reciprocal F1 hybrids, and seven of their recombinant-inbred derived lines were used to examine the genetic basis of the response to thermal pain, and morphine analgesia at doses of 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0mg/kg. Both the latency of response to thermal pain and the analgesic response differed significantly among the various strains tested. Strong genetic determinants appear to control their responses. Analyses of the data did not permit clarification regarding the linkage of these determinants. Photoelectric activity cages were used to test the running response of the same strains to 12.5, 25 and 40 mg/kg morphine sulfate. The genetic determinants for running activity were different from those for analgesia. There is clear evidence for two or more loci controlling the behavior at 60 and 75 min after injection, but not enough information to define the loci involved.
