Fentanyl is meant to be a painkiller. It is 100 times more toxic than morphine. But in recent years, Fentanyl has been distributed among the public, creating a dangerous society.

Fentanyl is easily accessible, causing fatal overdoses and death. It is sold on the street as a powder. Usually, it is mixed with heroin. In some forms, it is deadly just to…

Similar to the study conducted by Gillberg, Terenius, and Lonnerholm, researchers concluded that treatment with the μ-opioid receptor such as morphine, methadone, and fentanyl enhanced social play behavior. However, administering an opioid antagonist such as Naloxone reduces social play behavior in rats. Social play behavior is important for development into adult social functioning. Examining…

This is a disadvantage. On the other hand there exist different drugs to relief chronic pain such as morphine and oxycodone. Hydrocodone activates mu opioid receptors (MORs). MORs are G protein coupled receptors that inhibit cAMP production and activate G-protein mediated inwardly rectifying potassium channels (GIRKS). The therapeutic effect is due to the…
