The results suggest that spinal mu- and delta- but not kappa-opioid receptors have a significant role in the modulation of visceral nociception induced by colorectal distension. In addition, the results indicate that activation of nonspinal kappa receptors may mediate visceral antinociception.
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.
