most important, responses to activation of mu receptors include analgesia, respiratory depression, euphoria, and sedation Mu activation is related to physical dependence Mu receptors are needed to mediate major actions of opioid drugs
- In major depression, increased kappa and mu opioid receptor . . . - PubMed
Abstract Objective: This study was carried out to delineate differences between major depressive disorder (MDD) and healthy controls in dynorphin and kappa opioid receptor (KOR) levels in association with changes in the β-endorphin - mu opioid receptor (MOR) and immune-inflammatory system
- What Are Mu Receptors and What Is Their Function?
Activation of mu receptors, particularly by opioid medications, can lead to several common side effects Respiratory depression is a major concern, as mu receptor activation in the brainstem can dangerously slow or suppress breathing This effect is a primary cause of fatalities in opioid overdoses
- Mu-opioid receptor - Wikipedia
Active and inactive μ-opioid receptors [5] The μ-opioid receptors (using the Greek letter mu, abbreviated MOR) are a class of opioid receptors with a high affinity for enkephalins and beta-endorphin, but a low affinity for dynorphins They are also referred to as μ (mu)-opioid peptide (MOP) receptors The prototypical μ-opioid receptor agonist is morphine, the primary psychoactive alkaloid

Use of morphine or other opioids during delivery can cause respiratory depression in the neonate, because the drug crosses the placenta Infants should be monitored for respiratory depression and receive naloxone if needed
- Mu Opioid Receptor Activation Is Required for NMDA Receptor Antagonist . . .
Contradictory evidence has emerged regarding the role of the mu opioid receptor (MOR) in the antidepressant actions of (R,S)-ketamine
- Physiology, Opioid Receptor - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
Opioid receptors are present in cardiac tissue; their activation leads to hyperpolarization of membranes and activation of the vagus nerve These changes result in peripheral vasodilation and bradycardia, which ultimately causes hypotension
- Molecular and cellular basis of mu-opioid receptor signaling . . .
Opioids exert their effects through opioid receptors (ORs), primarily the mu opioid receptor (MOR), which mediates both therapeutic analgesia and adverse effects such as euphoria, dependence, and tolerance
