Abstract

Subcellular localization of ⁴⁵Ca⁺⁺ in brain was determined after intracerebroventricular injection of the isotope in mice. Acute morphine injection selectively depleted ⁴⁵Ca⁺⁺ from synaptic vesicles while chronic morphine treatment increased the ⁴⁵Ca⁺⁺ in vesicular fractions. The elevated vesicular ⁴⁵Ca⁺⁺ found in tolerant-dependent animals rapidly declined during naloxone precipitated abstinence. These effects of morphine on brain Ca⁺⁺ localization are discussed in terms of their possible relationship to neurotransmitter release and tolerance and dependence development.
