Abstract
⺠Opioid tolerance and efficacy were examined using the [35S]GTPγS assay. ⺠Efficacy estimates correlated with historical analgesic efficacy estimates. ⺠Decreased μ-opioid receptor density produced tolerance in the [35S]GTPγS assay. ⺠Analgesic tolerance was observed following all treatment protocols. ⺠These data indicate that tolerance is agonist and response dependent.
