Abstract
The enormous growth of opioid research in the last decade was initiated by the identification of opiate receptors and the detection of their endogenous ligands, the opioid peptides or endorphins. A variety of different types of opioid receptors can now be distinguished and a considerable number of different opioid peptides have been identified. One of the questions arising from this development concerns the relationship between the multiplicity of opioid receptors and ligands, including that of the functions related to the various ligand-receptor interactions. In this context their role in the modulation of pain is of particular interest and will be discussed here.
