Temporal variation in morphine-mast cell interaction.
The possible rhythmic interaction between morphine and mast cell was investigated in mice. It has been found that both at normal and drug-induced state, mast cells varied as a function of time and the number of mast cells was significantly affected at the time in which the number of mast cells was highest over a 24-h period. The exact underlying mechanism of the phenomenon still remains to be investigated.
