synaptic cleft at a regular frequency but when these minerals are under the
influence of opioid the transmission of pain signals is severely diminished over time
an interesting phenomenon occurs the neurons re-estabilish the strenght of
transmission this is referred to as alkaloid tolerance closer examination of the neuro
plasma membran might give us better insight into one of mechanisms involed in
this phenomenon of unbinding of the opioid leg in with its receptor cascade of
biochemical events are set off which collectively induce the overall suppression of
the neuron ability to transmitted signals however within minutes receptors
activation by the opiate ligand the entire receptor complex is internalized in to the
cell
under normal conditions moost internalized receptors are recycled back to the cell
surface. well some are degradated to a complex biochemical process and thus a
delicate equilibrium exists between the recycling of the internalized receptors and
their degradating during the the development of opioid tolerance. there seems to
be the reversal of this trend so that more receptors are degradated the recycled this
phenomenon is known as dareen regulation as a result you receptors are available
on the cell surface for the old boys to buy consequently more opioids are needed to
induced the same level of signal inhibition during pain processing therefore it
appears that receptor down regulation maybe one of the underlying causes of
opioid tolerance and who reasearch is required to elevate this hypothesis
