In an operant procedure using a lever press response 12 male, hooded rats were trained to discriminate 1.25 mg/kg naloxone from a saline injection. On certain days, according to a counterbalanced training schedule, naloxone was administered 8 h after 40 mg/kg morphine and 10 rain prior to a trial in

The capacity of the specific narcotic antagonists naltrexone and naloxone to block the discriminative effects produced by morphine in the rat were evaluated using a two-choice, discrete-trial avoidance task. The antagonists produced a dose-dependent and time-dependent blockade of morphine's effects
The action of naloxone (0.5 and 2 mg/kg IP) on the behavioural effects of a low (2 g/kg PO) and a high dose (4 g/kg PO) of ethanol was studied in rats. Ethanol at the low dose increased spontaneous motility, enhancing open-field external ambulations and reducing shuttle-box latency. All these effect
Naloxone HCl (10 micrograms/0.5 ml) was injected in the locus coeruleus (LC) of morphine-dependent rats and the behavioural manifestations of morphine withdrawal and the cortical levels of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethyleneglycol sulfate (MHPG-SO4) were measured 30 min later. Naloxone precipitated a
