This study was performed to examine the effects of ICV injection of antiserum against beta-endorphin (beta-EP) or methionine-enkephalin (ME) on nitrous oxide-induced antinociception in rats using the hot plate test. The injection of beta-EP antiserum reversed the antinociceptive effect of nitrous oxide in a dose-related manner up to 200 mu g/rat. However, antagonism of nitrous oxide by 400 mu g beta-EP antiserum was comparable to that produced by 200 mu g. On the other hand, similar amounts of ME antiserum had little effect against nitrous oxide antinociception. These findings suggest that beta-EP may play an important role in the antinociceptive effect of nitrous oxide.
