Figure 6.5 Droperidol (Dro) further enhances the EA-induced increase in P-opioid receptor density. The P-opioid receptor was labeled with 3H-ohmefentany (OMF), and the rats were divided into four groups. For Dro EA group, 10 min after the injection of Dro (1.25 mg/kg, i.p.), EA stimulation was given at Zusanli (ST-36) and Kunlun (BL-60) acupoints lasting for 20 min.

In the autoradiographic images, the red color indicates higher density of the opioid receptors, w
