The role of the different components of the respiratory network in the mediation of opioid-induced respiratory depression is still unclear. We investigated the contribution of the preBotzinger Complex (preBotC) and the neighbouring Botzinger Complex (BotC) and inspiratory portion of the ventral respiratory group (iVRG) in anesthetized, vagotomized, paralyzed and artificially ventilated adult rabbits making use of bilateral micro injections (30-50 nl) of the mu-opioid receptor agonist [D-Ala(2), N-Me-Phe(4), Gly(5)-ol]-enkephalin (DAMGO). Dose dependent effects were observed. In the preBotC and the BotC 0.1 mM DAMGO microinjections caused mainly reductions in peak phrenic amplitude associated with tonic phrenic activity and irregular (ataxic) patterns of breathing that were more pronounced in the preBotC. Apneic effects developed at 0.5 mM. In the iVRG DAMGO provoked decreases in amplitude and frequency of phrenic bursts at 0.1 mM and apnea at 0.5 mM. Local 5 mM naloxone reversed the apneic effects. The results imply that different components of the respiratory network may contribute to opioid-induced respiratory disorders. Superscript/Subscript Available
