Abstract Aggression and thermal pain thresholds were measured in separate groups of isolated male mice following 0.2–5.0 mg/kg SC injections of the opiate antagonist naloxone. The drug inhibited aggressive behaviors dose-dependently, but had no effect on pain. These results suggest that endogenous opioid systems may be activated during repeated intermale aggressive encounters.
