Alcohol dependence and opiate dependence: lack of relationship in mice

Alcohol dependence and opiate dependence: lack of relationship in mice

A Goldstein et al. Science. .

Abstract

According to a recently proposed hypothesis, physical dependence upon alcohol is due to the formation of an endogenous opiate. We tested the hypothesis by determining whether or not ethanol-dependent mice would show typical opiate-dependent behavior (withdrawal jumping syndrome) when challenged with the opiate antagonist naloxone. Our results do not support the hypothesis.
