Abstract

Naloxone partially inhibited skin wound contraction and completely blocked acceleration of wound healing in rats with stimulated lacrimal glands. Endorphins were detected in lacrimal glands. Alteration of functional activity of the lacrimal glands produces a considerable effect on pain sensitivity and endorphin blood concentration. Opioid peptides have a considerable effect on the functioning of the lacrimal apparatus and are involved in injury-induced reactions, regulating pain sensitivity, structural homeostasis and producing an anti-stress effect.
