Abstract:

Objective To observe the conditioned place preference (CPP) changes in mice after treated with different doses of morphine, and provide reference for the further study of morphine addiction. Method  3-month-old male C57 mice were injected intraperitoneally with 0 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 15 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg of morphine, CPP and Straub tail reaction analysis were carried out.   Result    The Straub tail reaction analysis showed that: compared with control group, mice in morphine 10 mg/kg, 15 mg/kg, and 20 mg/kg groups demonstrated longer Straub tail reaction time (P< 0.05). The CPP analysis also showed that, compared with the control group mice,15mg/kg and 20mg/kg morphine reversed the natural tendency to black box of mice, which spent more time in the white box (P< 0.001). Meanwhile, the time spend in the white box was also statistically longer in the 10 mg/kg morphine group compared with the control group (P=0.049<0.05). Conclusion  15 mg/kg morphine can produce a significant adaptive change in CPP test in mice, which is an ideal dosage to construct morphine addiction model in mice.
