Opiate modulation of the pituitary-adrenal axis: effects of stress and circadian rhythm.
The opiate control of the pituitary-adrenal axis has been investigated in normal subjects. The infusion of 1 mg of the met-enkephalin analogue, DAMME, led to a fall in circulating cortisol in spite of a fall in blood pressure. Conversley, 16 mg of the opiate antagonist, naloxone led to brisk and pro...
