Validation of a pharmacological imaging challenge using 11C-buprenorphine and 18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography to study the effects of buprenorphine to the rat brain

AimBuprenorphine mainly acts as an agonist of mu-opioid receptors (mu-OR). High dose buprenorphine does not cause respiratory depression and can be safely administered to elicit typical opioid effects and explore pharmacodynamics. Acute buprenorphine, associated with functional and quantitative neur...
