Sugammadex Potentiation of Morphine Analgesia and Reduction of Opioid Tolerance Is Accompanied by Inhibition of Oxidative Stress and the NLRP3/IL-1β Signaling Pathway in the Rat Dorsal Root Ganglion
Recent studies have shown that sugammadex’s effects on the nervous system are controversial and its effect on nociception, morphine analgesia and tolerance is still unclear. The current study aimed to examine ...

Aspirin attenuates morphine antinociceptive tolerance in rats with diabetic neuropathy by inhibiting apoptosis in the dorsal root ganglia
Morphine is a drug used in chronic pain such as diabetic neuropathy, but the development of tolerance to its antinociceptive effect is an important clinical problem. Aspirin is an analgesic and antiapoptotic d...

Metformin prevents morphine-induced apoptosis in rats with diabetic neuropathy: a possible mechanism for attenuating morphine tolerance
Morphine is a drug of choice for the treatment of severe and chronic pain, but tolerance to the antinociceptive effect limits its use. The development of tolerance to morphine has recently been associated with...
