C57BL/6J mice, in two-bottle choice paradigms, show increased oral morphine consumption, compared with DBA/2J mice. To determine whether this C57 morphine preference reflects differences in the receptor-mediated, reward-based action of morphine (as opposed to pharmacokinetic or gustatory differences), three experiments were performed. Consistent with previous two-bottle choice experiments, C57 mean (+- S.D.) morphine consumption was 18 +- 3 mg/kg/day, while the DBA mice consumed 1.4 +- 1.2 mg/kg/day. Intraperitoneal naltrexone produced a 50% decrease in C57 morphine consumption (p lt 0.01), while DBA mice showed no change. Consumption of fluid from the control bottle was not changed for either strain. Fifteen and 30 min after oral consumption of a morphine solution, plasma levels of morphine and its glucuronide derivative were not different between these two strains. C57 mice maintained a daily morphine intake of approximately 20 mg/kg across morphine concentrations of 0.05-0.4 mg/ml. These experiments suggest that the difference in oral morphine preference between C57 and DBA mice represents a reward-based mechanism which is mediated through opiate receptors.
