Male rats display significantly greater analgesic responses following morphine than female rats, with neonatal gonadal manipulations reversing the sex-dependent pattern. The present study assessed whether dose-dependent (0.0005-5 microg, icv) effects of morphine-induced feeding were sensitive to sex-dependent and neonatal gonadectomy manipulations. Sex differences in morphine-induced feeding varied as a function of morphine dose with males showing greater increases at low (0.0005 microg) doses, and females showing greater increases at high (5 microg) doses. Neonatal castration, respectively, enhanced and reduced morphine-induced feeding at very low (0.0005 microg) and low (0.005 microg) doses. In contrast, neonatal testosterone administered to females enhanced morphine-induced feeding at higher (0.5-5 microg) doses. These data indicate that sex and neonatal gonadectomy differences in morphine-induced feeding are dependent upon the dose of morphine employed.
