Effects of morphine on cutaneous blood flow and substance P release evoked by electric stimulation of rat sciatic nerve]

Electric stimulation of the rat sciatic nerve containing sensory afferent fibers produced an increase in cutaneous blood flow. Morphine (10, 30 mumol.kg-1 ia infusion) inhibited the electric stimulation-induced increase of the cutaneous blood flow velocity, and its effect was antagonized by naloxone (2 mg.kg-1 ip). In order to investigate the cause of this effect, we determined immunoreactive substance P (iSP) levels in the sc perfusate of hind paw. We found that electric stimulation of the sciatic nerve led to a significant increase of iSP release into the sc perfusate. Morphine (30 mumol.kg-1 ia infusion) inhibited the electrical stimulation-induced release of iSP, and this effect was completely antagonized by naloxone (2 mg.kg-1 ip). These result suggest that morphine-induced inhibition of the electrical stimulation-evoked increase in cutaneous blood flow could result from inhibition of the release of SP from peripheral sensory nerve endings.
