SNC80 uptake and activity at the delta opioid receptor.
a. Distribution of SNC80 in Xenopus tadpoles after 1 and 2 hours of compound exposure. b. Uptake of SNC80 in the tadpole skeletal muscle, GI tract, and gills at 1 and 2 hours of exposure. c. Levels of acylcarnitine and cholesterol ester in the skeletal muscle, brain, and cardiac tissue after 1 hour of SNC80 treatment. In vivo distributions of SNC80 and lipid levels measured from N=5 tadpoles per condition; N=3 sections/slide. d. Oxygen consumption in Xenopus tadpoles treated with SNC80, the delta opioid antagonist naltrindole, or a combination of SNC80 and naltrindole. N=3 replicates/group with each data point representing the cumulative oxygen consumption from 5 tadpoles. Statistical comparisons were performed using a two-way ANOVA (time x tissue region) with Sidak’s correction for multiple comparisons (b), multiple unpaired t-tests for each tissue region with FDR correction (c), and a Welch ANOVA test with Dunnett correction for multiple comparisons between vehicle and each treatment group (d). Bar plots show the mean±SD of each group.
