PET imaging of kappa opioid receptors and receptor expression quantified in neuron-derived extracellular vesicles in socially housed female and male cynomolgus macaques

Bernard N. Johnson et al.

Summary: Recent PET studies have shown that there are significant relationships between kappa opioid receptors (KOR) availability and social status as well as cocaine choice in humans. This study aimed to examine the KOR availability in socially housed, cocaine-naive female and male monkeys using PET imaging, and also analyzed peripheral measures of KORs with neuron-derived extracellular vesicles (NDE). The results revealed that there were significant interactions between sex and social rank in KOR availability, with higher KOR availability found in subordinate female monkeys compared to dominant ones, while the opposite was observed among males but not statistically significant. This study highlights the importance of KOR in understanding vulnerability to drug abuse and sex differences, and its detectability in peripheral circulation.

Extrastriatal Dopamine D2/3 Receptor Availability in Alcohol Use Disorder and Individuals at High Risk

Gianna Spitta et al.

Summary: This study investigated extrastriatal D2/3 receptor availability in individuals at high risk (HR) and patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and found that D2/3 receptor availability was highest in HR, indicating potential differences in their pathobiology compared to AUD patients.

The economic burden of opioid use disorder and fatal opioid overdose in the United States, 2017

Curtis Florence et al.

Summary: This study estimated the societal costs for opioid use disorder and fatal overdose in the United States in 2017, totaling $1.02 trillion. The majority of the economic burden is attributed to reduced quality of life from opioid use disorder and the value of life lost due to fatal opioid overdose.
