Background: It has been reported that less postoperative morphine is required following liver transplantation than is required following open cholecystectomy. This may be attributable to endogenous factors rather than to altered morphine pharmacokinetics. We measured the plasma concentrations of two endogenous neuropeptides associated with pain modulation, substance P (SP) and met‐enkephalin (ME), in pigs undergoing liver transplantation and in control pigs undergoing laparotomy.
