The relation between stress-induced and morphine-induced body temperature changes was examined in rats. Three groups of eight animals thoroughly habituated to handling and rectal probing, and three groups of eight experimentally naive animals were injected intraperitoneally with either 1, 5, or 30 mg/kg morphine sulphate on each of six consecutive days. Differences in temperature readings from the pre-injection baseline showed that on Day 1 of the experiment stress acted to effectively increase the potency of morphine, causing slightly increased hyperthermia at the lowest dose and greatly increased hypothermia at the highest dose. Thus for habituated animals the dose-response curve for morphine was shifted to the right. By Day 6, after repeated morphine injections, all animals showed a hyperthermic response to morphine and the differences between habituated and unhabituated animals had disappeared. These findings were discussed in terms of the interaction between the temperature changes produced by endogenous opioids in stressed animals and the actions of exogenously administered morphine.
