Nine weeks of compulsory morphine drinking decreased the specific binding of 3H-muscimol to GABA receptors and 14C-NAD to rat brain synaptic membranes and increased the synaptosomal uptake of 14C-GABA. These effects of morphine on the GABA-benzodiazepine receptor complex were reversed by excessive doses of vitamin B 3.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
