Excerpt

Morphine remains the most widely used intravenous opioid in the perioperative setting worldwide. Maintaining therapeutic CNS concentrations of many opioids is confounded by considerable variability in disposition. Recent findings indicate a role for the UGT2B7 expressed in the liver, for variability of substrate effects. This phenomenon is attributed to genetic and environmental factors. However, evidence for effect variation due to UGT2B7-mediated glucuronization of morphine in humans is lacking. …
