Sex related differences in analgesia in sheep (Ovis ovis)

Abstract

Extract

Perception of, and relief from, pain differs markedly between individual animals(1). In a humane system of animal care, this requires addressing. I have investigated the analgesic effects of different opioid agonists in male and female sheep, and the results suggest a sex-related difference in the efficacy of both kappa (𝛋) and mu (𝛍) opioids.
