Ischemic heart disease remains a global health problem with high morbidity and mortality. Butorphanol, as a novel opioid, has been discovered with its cardioprotective properties. The purpose of this study was to explore that butorphanol can alleviate hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced myocardial injury by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway.

The effect of the selective μ-opioid receptor agonist endomorphin-1 in reperfusion injury in male Wistar rats was studied in vivo and in vitro. The in vivo experiment included coronary artery occlusion (45 min) and reperfusion (120 min); in in vitro experiments, 45-min global ischemia of the isolated rat heart was followed by 30-min reperfusion. Endomorphin-1 was administered intravenously 5 min before in vivo reperfusion (at a dose 50 μg/kg) or added to the perfusion solution at the onset of reperfusion of the isolated heart (in a concentration of 152 nmol/liter).

Drug addiction is considered a worldwide concern and one of the most prevailing causes of death globally. Opioids are highly addictive drugs, and one of the most common opioids that is frequently used clinically is fentanyl. The potential harmful effects of chronic exposure to opioids on the heart are still to be elucidated.

Enkephalins are reportedly correlated with heart function. However, their regulation in the heart remains unexplored. This study revealed a substantial increase in circulating levels of opioid growth factor (OGF) (also known as methionine enkephalin) and myocardial expression levels of both OGF and its receptor (OGFR) in subjects treated with doxorubicin (Dox).
