dc.description.abstractotrodiomaThe possible participation of the endogenous opioid system (EOS) in the negative feedback of the hypothalamic-pituirary-adrenal axis (HPA-a) activated by low doses (1 mg) of dexamethasone (Dex) was investigated. Ten male healthy subjects (mean age 31.5 +/- 1.9 SEM) were studied on 2 separate days, in a double-blind, cross-over and placebo-controlled design. All subjects were pretreated with 1.0 mg Dex orally the night (2300h) before both test days. On the study days, subjects were admitted at 0700h for cannula insertion| the administration of an IV bolus of either naloxone (Nal) (1.0 mg/kg) or saline solution (Sal) IV was started at 0900h. Before and following each infusion, mood was measured by a Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) and by the Affective Quality Scale (AQS) every 30 min and blood samples were taken at 15-min intervals. Blood pressure and heart rate were also monitored. Before Dex administration, plasma cortisol levels were within the normal range in all subjects (210.4 +/- 13 ng/ml), while after 9 h after Dex cortisol levels showed the expected significant (p < 0.01) decrease (11.5 +/- 1.9 and 15.04 +/- 0.7 ng/ml for Sal and Nal test days respectively). There were no detectable increases in plasma cortisol levels following either Nal nor Sal administration. However, there was a Nal-induced significant increase in LH (p < 0.01) thus indicating that an effective opioid blockade at the level of the hypothalamic-pituitary unit occurred. There were also a mild and selective Dex + Nal-induced dysphoric (mood factors related to subjects perception of their cognition) and bradycardic effects (p < 0.05). These results suggest that the EOS is not directly involved in the negative feedback triggered by low doses of Dex of the HPA-a, and that there might be a possible glucocorticoid-opioid interaction for the modulation of some aspects of mood.
