Mechanisms of the analgesic actions of opiates and opioids

AH Dickenson - British medical bulletin, 1991 - academic.oup.com
It is now clear that there are three sub-types of the opiate receptor, mu, delta and kappa.
Evidence for differential roles of those sub-types in pain modulation is accumulating since …
