Abstract

OF LABORATORIES became interested in the role of endogenous opioids in circulatory shock soon after their initial discovery in 1975. This was based on the very attractive hypothesis that the accumulation of opioids during circulatory distress would suppress cardiovascular function contribute to the progressive circulatory collapse that often accompanies shock. Although do accumulate during hypotension (4, 11, 12, 14, 18, 22, 31), the strongest support for the hypothesis arose from the dramatic recovery of circulatory function in experimental circulatory shock following opiate receptor blockade (9, 19, 26, 30).
