Abstract
A recent study conducted to study the effect of music on constitutionally expressed opiates and cytokines found that with regard to mu opiate receptor expression, mononuclear cells showed a statistically significant increase in subjects in the music group compared to the control group. Plasma morphine 6 glucuronide levels increased while plasma morphine levels decreased implying morphine’s conversion to morphine 6 glucuronide. IL-6 ( Interleukon-6) levels were significantly decreased whereas there were no changes in IL-1b, IL-10 and cortisol values [10].
