Previous studies have demonstrated that the kappa opioid system is functional and plays a role in mediating the stretch response of the rat fetus on Day 21 of gestation. In this study, a kappa opioid agonist (U50, 488) was administered on Days 19, 20, or 21, and fetal behavior was recorded after infusion of either milk or saline. Activation of the kappa opioid system promoted stretching in response to saline on Days 20 and 21. Although fetuses on Day 19 did not stretch, videotape analysis indicated that kappa opioid manipulation promoted modest increases in rearlimb activity and changes in fetal body posture that typically occur antecedent to the stretch. These findings suggest that functional maturity of the kappa opioid system may be a limiting factor in the expression of the fetal stretch response.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
