“…Additional supportive evidence comes from studies revealing interactions with K ATP channel activity and opioid signaling ( Lohmann and Welch, 1999a , Lohmann and Welch, 1999b , Rodrigues and Duarte, 2000 , Fisher et al, 2019 , Sakamaki et al, 2021 ). SUR1 knockout or SUR1 inhibition reduces opioid-mediated analgesia ( Rodrigues and Duarte, 2000 , Fisher et al, 2019 , Sakamaki et al, 2021 ), and diazoxide-mediated analgesia is partially reduced by knockdown or pharmacological inhibition of μ-, κ-, and δ-opioid receptors ( Lohmann and Welch, 1999a , Lohmann and Welch, 1999b ). Together with the data presented here, these findings suggest that a ketogenic diet may enhance opioid-mediated analgesia downstream of K ATP channels.…”
