Distinct role of kappa opioid receptor in attenuating relapse to morphine/methamphetamine (polydrug) dependence

A combination of 0.3 mg/kg buprenorphine and 1.0 mg/kg naltrexone treatment shows a promising result due to its ability to attenuate reinstatement (relapse) in morphine/methamphetamine (polydrug)-dependent mice in a conditioned place preference (CPP) model. This prompted us to identify which opioid...
