Abstract:
Activation of peripheral-opioid receptors diminished stress-induced heart damage whereas stimulation of central-opioid receptors enhanced it. Peripheral-opioid receptors do not take part in pathogenesis of the "stress cardiomyopathy". The prostanoid system and processes of lipid peroxidation participate in realisation of cardioprotective effects associated with peripheral-opioid receptors.
