(uploaded June 13, 2023) containing a spoken, lecture-style excerpt in which a single speaker explains opioid receptor pharmacology — mentioning mu and kappa receptors, how opioids dissociate perception of pain, the evolutionary presence of opiate receptors (comparing them to cannabinoid receptors), and their immunoregulatory/immunomodulatory roles. The excerpt appears to be an educational or health-focused presentation about opioid receptor function and implications for treatments like low-dose naltrexone.

So we think of opioids and their binding at, say, the mu and the kappa and other receptors as interfering with our sensation of pain, which is true. You can kind of see the pain still, it's still there, but you really are disassociated from it. You don't care that much about the pain that's going on. The other thing about opiates and opiate receptor action is our opiate receptors were there before we invented the drugs from the opium poppy family. So if the receptors are there, like we have cannabinoid receptors in our body, If the receptors are there already, they must be doing something else, right? The receptors in the opiate class, much like other receptor classes, they are immunoregulatory, immunomodulatory,
