Description
Summary:This two-volume book provides the first comprehensive survey of opioid research, an area in which a tremendous amount of literature has accumulated since the identification of opioid receptors and their endogenous ligands. In more than 60 chapters experts represent state-of-the-art reviews of this fascinating field. The topics range from molecular biology to clinical application. Part II reviews a broad spectrum of physiological and behavioral functions and pharmacological actions of opioids. In addition, the neuroendocrinology of opioids, and opioid tolerance and dependence are discussed in a series of chapters. The final section deals with pathophysiological aspects and the clinical use of opioids.
