| Abstract: | Opioid receptors were first demonstrated long after they were proposed. Pharmacological studies of opiates in patients and animal models have typically predicted concepts subsequently confirmed at the molecular level. The initial binding of opiates, the identification of the opioid peptides and the concept of opioid receptor multiplicity are excellent examples. This review will discuss many of these early studies in the context of our current understanding of opioid action. |
