Abstract
Intrathecal administration of LIF potentiated morphine antinociceptive activity and attenuated the development of morphine tolerance. Upregulation of endogenously released LIF by long-term use of opioids might counterbalance the tolerance induction effects of other proinflammatory cytokines. LIF might be a novel drug candidate for inhibiting opioid tolerance induction.
