The present study provides evidence that milk or amniotic fluid (AF) can promote activity in the endogenous opioid system of the E20 rat fetus. Fetal responses to a chemosensory test stimulus (lemon) were reduced after intraoral infusion of milk (Experiment 1). The effect of milk was mimicked by the

The purpose of the study was to determine whether an episode of anoxia in the neonatal period affects the hypoxic ventilatory response in developing rats. Three to 4 day old rats (EXP rats) (day 0 = day of birth) were exposed to 100% N 2 for about 20 min. In anoxia, animals changed their respiratory
Fetal movement changes the size and location of amniotic fluid pockets during measurement of the amniotic fluid index. In singleton gestations, the effect of redistributing the fixed intrauterine fluid volume on the amniotic fluid index is clinically insignificant. In this study, we tested the hypot
## Abstract Three experiments examined the dose‐dependent biphasic effect of morphine on odor conditioning in neonatal rats. In Experiment 1, a single pairing of an odor and a low dose of morphine (0.5 mg/kg) in 5‐day‐old rats produced an odor preference, relative to an unpaired control group. In E
