The 23 pages that link to Opioid receptor, each with the reason it gives.

• Respiratory depressionRelated: Opioid receptor activation in the brainstem can blunt the drive to breathe.

• OpioidBroader topic: Opioids produce their effects by binding to these receptors.

• NaloxoneBroader topic: Naloxone reverses opioid effects by competing at these receptors.

• AlkaloidRelated: Morphine acts at these receptors, producing analgesia and other physiological effects.

• Opioid use disorderBroader topic: Their signaling mediates opioids’ effects on reward, pain, breathing, and withdrawal.

• Opioid overdoseBroader topic: Opioids activate these receptors in brainstem circuits that regulate breathing.

• AnalgesicRelated: Opioid analgesics act at these receptors to reduce pain signaling and alter its perception.

• FentanylRelated: Fentanyl produces analgesia and respiratory depression mainly by activating the mu-opioid receptor.

• PruritusRelated: Opioid signaling can either suppress or provoke itch depending on receptor pathways.

• Pain managementRelated: Opioid analgesics reduce pain partly by activating these receptors in the nervous system.

• AnalgesiaRelated: Activating these receptors can reduce pain transmission in the brain and spinal cord.

• CodeineNarrower topic: Codeine and its metabolites produce analgesia chiefly through opioid-receptor signaling.

• Opioid analgesicsBroader topic: These receptors mediate opioid analgesia and many unwanted effects.

• MethadoneNarrower topic: Methadone acts mainly as an agonist at the mu-opioid receptor.

• Opioid withdrawalBroader topic: Withdrawal follows changes in signaling through these receptors.

• HeroinBroader topic: Heroin-derived molecules produce effects largely by activating these receptors.

• NaltrexoneNarrower topic: Naltrexone's central action is blocking these receptors, especially the mu opioid receptor.

• OpiumNarrower topic: Morphine and related opium alkaloids produce their effects by activating these receptors.

• EndorphinsCompared with: Receptor imaging detects opioid-system activity but usually cannot identify endorphins alone.

• HydrocodoneNarrower topic: Hydrocodone produces analgesia mainly by activating the mu-opioid receptor.

• ThebaineRelated: Thebaine interacts with opioid receptors, but its effects differ from morphine’s.

• DesomorphineRelated: Desomorphine produces opioid effects by activating these receptors.

• HydromorphoneNarrower topic: Hydromorphone acts within this broader receptor family, chiefly through its mu subtype.
