A vapor exposure method for delivering heroin alters nociception, body temperature and spontaneous activity in female and male rats

A. Gutierrez, K. M. Creehan, M. A. Taffe

This paper develops a vapor exposure method to deliver heroin to rats, showing it alters nociception, body temperature, and activity in both sexes.

Explication of CB1 receptor contributions to the hypothermic effects of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) when delivered by vapor inhalation or parenteral injection in rats

J. D. Nguyen, K. M. Creehan, Y. Grant, S. A. Vandewater, T. M. Kerr, M. A. Taffe

This study investigates how CB1 receptor activation contributes to THC-induced hypothermia via inhalation or injection in rats, finding that CB1 antagonists only partially block or alter the hypothermic response.
