Effect of morphine and naloxone on a defensive response of the crab Chasmagnathus granulatus

Male crabs (Chasmagnathus granulatus) exhibited a defensive response (DR) to an electric shock (8 V, 50 Hz, 1 sec). The DR so elicited was used as a model for studying the antibociceptive effect of morphine. Injections of morphine-HCl (MP) (25, 50, 100 and 150 μg/g) were administered and the DR was...
