title: The effect of leukocyte-induced degradation products of albumin on the analgesic action of morphine.
abstract: The effect of leukocyte-induced human albumin degradation products (LPAD) on the analgesic potency of morphine was investigated. The degradation products given alone to the rats did not affect pain threshold; while combined with morphine, they potentiated its analgesic action. Moreover, the degradation products increased the concentration of morphine in the brain tissue.
