Abstract excerpt
The association between polymorphisms of the human ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) gene and opioid response has attracted intense attention recently. As the ABCB1 gene encodes for the transporter P-glycoprotein in the brain and intestine involved in the pharmacokinetics of opioids, we investigated the effects of ABCB1 genetic polymorphisms on doses of opioids for pain relief and determined which...
