μ-Opioid receptor (MOR) agonism induces palatable food consumption principally through
modulation of the rewarding properties of food. N-{[3, 5-difluoro-3′-(1 H-1, 2, 4-triazol-3-yl) …

Endogenous opioids and μ‐opioid receptors have been linked to hedonic and rewarding
aspects of palatable food intake. The authors examined the safety, pharmacokinetic, and …

A diaryl ether derivative,(6-(4-{[(3-methylbutyl) amino] methyl} phenoxy) nicotinamide, was
prepared and investigated for its biochemical properties at cloned opioid receptors and its …

Endogenous opioids, and in particular μ-opioid receptors, have been linked to hedonic and
rewarding mechanisms engaged during palatable food intake. The aim of this study was to …

The endogenous opioid system and μ‐opioid receptors in particular have been
demonstrated to play a fundamental role in hedonic and motivational behaviors reinforced …

An analog of the trans-3, 4-dimethyl-4-(3-hydroxyphenyl) piperidine series (LY255582)
exhibits high in vitro binding affinity and antagonist potency for the μ-, δ-, and κ-opioid …

The opioid system is implicated in the hedonic and motivational processing of food, and in
binge eating, a behaviour strongly linked to obesity. The aim of this study was to evaluate …

Agonist stimulation of opioid receptors increases feeding in rodents, while opioid
antagonists inhibit food intake. The pan-opioid antagonist, LY255582, produces a sustained …

The present study evaluated the central effects of ß-funaltrexamine (B-FNA), a non-
equilibrium antagonist of μ-opioid receptors and a reversible agonist of κ-opioid receptors …

Mu (μ) opioid agonists preferentially increase the intake of highly palatable food. Here we
investigated changes in μ opioid binding in feeding-and reward-related brain regions in rats …
