Opioid receptor — Opioid receptors are a group of G protein coupled receptors with opioids as ligands.[1][2][3] The endogenous opioids are dynorphins, enkephalins, endorphins, endomorphins and nociceptin. The opioid receptors are 40% identical to somatostatin… … Wikipedia
Opioid dependency — is a medical diagnosis characterized by an individual s inability to stop using opioids even when objectively in his or her best interest to do so. In 1964 the WHO Expert Committee on Drug Dependence introduced dependence as “A cluster of… … Wikipedia
Opioid peptide — Opioid peptides are short sequences of amino acids that bind to opioid receptors in the brain; opiates and opioids mimic the effect of these peptides. Opioid peptides may be produced by the body itself, for example endorphins. The effects of… … Wikipedia
