Q

Opiate Agonists on CNS

A

(CNS - some PNS); Analgesia (“aching” pain), Sedation (not necessary for analgesia - excitation in some), Euphoria (May be dysphoria), Respiratory (Depression can cause death, May relieve oxygen deficiency anxiety in MI, “Stiff chest”), Miosis (Constrict), Cough suppression, Emetic - Antiemetic (Vomit), Craving, Appetite hormones - POMC/CART to anorexic, NPY and AgRP to arrexogenic neurons - Regulators of glucose homeostasis - Sense circulating adiposity - Signals like insulin and leptin; Other - Decrease hormones (CRF, GNRH, LH, FSH, Increase Prolactin and ADH), Learning and memory and Brain excitability-induced-seizure-like brain activity
