2021, Pharmacology Biochemistry and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :For instance, baseline plasma β-endorphin levels are 5-fold higher in some teleost fish (e.g., rainbow trout) (Pottinger et al., 1995) than in rats (Zalewska-Kaszubska et al., 2008), and are >100-fold higher than in humans (Nakao et al., 1978). Endogenous opioids and their receptors have been identified in zebrafish brain (Alvarez et al., 2006; Bao et al., 2019; Demin et al., 2018a; Gonzalez-Nunez and Rodríguez, 2009; Marron Fdez de Velasco et al., 2009; Schulman et al., 1981). However, some differences are observed between mammals and zebrafish, who display reduced affinity of receptors for highly selective opioid agents with proven activity in mammals, suggesting that their binding pockets are highly conserved throughout evolution, unlike the extracellular domains that confer ligand selectivity (Gonzalez-Nunez and Rodríguez, 2009; Gonzalez-Nuñez et al., 2007).

2019, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :Given the additional affinity of NOP for opioid peptides (e.g., dynorphin A), the endogenous nociceptin system of zebrafish does not seem to have the molecular gap (unlike mammals) from the classical DOP/MOP/KOP opioid system (Gonzalez-Nunez et al., 2003b). The expression patterns of zebrafish opioid-related genes show that classical opioid receptors are strongly expressed in adult fish brain, with broad distribution in all subdivisions (telencephalon, diencephalon, mesencephalon, metencephalon and myelencephalon), but relatively low levels in the spinal cord (Barrallo et al., 1998a; Porteros et al., 1999; Alvarez et al., 2006; Pinal-Seoane et al., 2006; also see Gonzalez-Nunez and Rodriguez, 2009). However, striking variation of expression intensity exists between different CNS areas for these zebrafish genes, like in their mammalian counterparts, especially robust in regions related to sensory processing and pain (Gonzalez-Nunez and Rodriguez, 2009).
