leukocyte | leukocyte exposure to morphine down-regulates catechol-O-methyl transferase and CYP2D6 by approximately 50% compared with control values. Exposure of white blood cells to 0.001 mM S-nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine, a nitric oxide donor, reduces the expression of CYP2D6 and COMT. Prior naloxone (0.001 mM) or N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (0.1 mM) addition abrogates down-regulating activity of morphine, demonstrating morphine is initiating its actions via stimulating constitutive NO synthase derived NO release via the mu3 opiate receptor splice variant | Homo sapiens | - |
