41
Q

A

Brain, Spinal Cord

Anxiety, Depression, Appetite, Tolerance to Mu Agonist

42
Q

How do Opiates Work

A

Presynaptic:

Binds to G-Coupled Proteins (2nd msgr) - Amplifies signal –> Inhibits Adenylate Cyclase –> lowers cAMP –> less Ca++ –> stops neurotransmitter release (stopping some pain signal)

Postsynaptic:

Glutamate can still bind, but opiate also binds here –> opens K+ channel for K+ release –> creates negative field –> glutmate unable to cause action d/t hyperpolarization

43
Q

NMDA Receptors & Opioids

46
Q

How does codeine work?

A

Its a prodrug needing to be metabolized to turn into morphine.
