Popis: Experiments were performed on rats with opium abuse induced by chronic administration of morphine in increasing doses. We studied the effect of HLDF-6 peptide on symptoms of naloxone abstinence. Repeated administration of HLDF-6 peptide in a dose of 0.2 mg/kg 24 and 0.5 h before naloxone relieved the major symptoms of the abstinence syndrome. A possible neurochemical mechanism underlying the effect of HLDF-6 peptide is inhibition of enkephalinase A in structures of the endogenous antinociceptive system.
