POEF AND QUATERNARY NALTREXONE

ingestion. In conjunction with the results of Experiments 1 and                         acknowledgements

2, this result provides compelling evidence that ingestion of We ⅛ank Dr. Herbert Merz and Boehringer Ingelheim for generously
POEF in amniotic fluid enhances the central action of morphine donating the quaternary naltrexone. This research was supported by NSF
exclusively.                                                        grant BNS 88-19837, awarded to M.B.K.
