- Abstract
The influence of the opioid receptor antagonist naloxone upon the reduced locomotor activity after administration of nitrazepam (NTZ) and upon the increased locomotion after chronic nitrazepam administration was tested. It was found that a single dose of naloxone counteracted both the reduced locomotion after acute administration of nitrazepam as well as the augmented locomotor activity after chronic application of nitrazepam. It is assumed that opioid mechanisms are involved in the locomotor effects of benzodiazepines.
