The aim of the present study was to analyse the correlation between functional and electrophysiological effects of the opioids in guinea pig ileum. Preparations of guinea pig ileum myenteric plexus-longitudinal muscle strips were used to compare the effect of two opioids, morphine (a mu-agonist) and U-50,488H (a kappa-agonist) on the electrically-induced contractile response and the excitatory postsynaptic potentials exhibited by the myenteric neurones when the internodal strands are electrically stimulated. Both opioids dose-dependently inhibited the contractile responses and the fast excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSPs) in S neurones but did not modify the amplitude of the slow postsynaptic potentials. Pertussis toxin pretreatment was able to antagonise the effects of both morphine and U-50,448H. From our results it can be suggested that the effect of the opioids on guinea pig ileum involves the inhibition of neuronal fEPSPs.
