Effect of naloxone on blood pressure and survival in different shock models in rats.

The effect of naloxone on a number of experimental shock models, using the anaesthetized rat, was studied with special emphasis on mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) and chance of survival. Only a slight increase in MABP was noted in haemorrhagic shock models whereas survival was not affected. Naloxone was without effect in endotoxin shock (i.
