nitrous oxide and Addiction, Opioid

nitrous oxide has been researched along with Addiction, Opioid in 10 studies

Nitrous Oxide: Nitrogen oxide (N2O). A colorless, odorless gas that is used as an anesthetic and analgesic. High concentrations cause a narcotic effect and may replace oxygen, causing death by asphyxia. It is also used as a food aerosol in the preparation of whipping cream.
dinitrogen oxide : A nitrogen oxide consisting of linear unsymmetrical molecules with formula N2O. While it is the most used gaseous anaesthetic in the world, its major commercial use, due to its solubility under pressure in vegetable fats combined with its non-toxicity in low concentrations, is as an aerosol spray propellant and aerating agent for canisters of 'whipped' cream.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To test the hypothesis that opiate addiction in adults might stem partly from an imprinting process during birth when certain drugs are given to the mother."1.28Opiate addiction in adult offspring through possible imprinting after obstetric treatment. ( Bygdeman, M; Eklund, G; Grönbladh, L; Jacobson, B; Nyberg, K; Rydberg, U, 1990)
"The severity and duration of these convulsions were related to the nitrous oxide concentration and duration of exposure."1.26Physical dependence on nitrous oxide in mice: resemblance to alcohol but not to opiate withdrawal. ( Cervenko, FW; Jhamandas, KH; Milne, B, 1981)
