“RESULTS:Mean morphine consumption was significantly lower in group L than in group M during the first 48 postoperative hours: 26 ± 15 vs 54 ± 29 mg, i.e., a mean difference for each 24-hour period of 14.2 (95% confidence interval [CI] 7.6 to 20.9) mg.”
“ Morphine consumption in groups L and K was significantly lower than in group C. Pre-emptive administration of lornoxicam and ketoprofen effectively reduced post-operative pain and morphine consumption, and lornoxicam was more effective than ketoprofen in the early post-operative period.”

“In the stressed rats, morphine potentiated the stress-induced elevation of 5HIAA content in the striatum and attenuated the stress-induced elevation of 5HIAA in the PM and L , and that of 5HT in the PM, remaining 5HIAA content in FCP and FCM unaltered.”
“The inhibition of protein synthesis caused by acute administration of morphine was calculated to be greater than previously reported since morphine treatment increased the specific radioactivity of the free pool of leucine in brain following the intracisternal injection of the labelled amino acid.”
“The rate of removal of the labeled leucine from the free amino acid pool of brain and the rate of incorporation of labeled leucine into protein were decreased in the animals injected either with a single dose of morphine or with daily injections for 5 days.”
“Median total morphine consumption over 24 and 48 postoperative hours of Group A were significantly less than Group L (6/10 mg vs 13/25 mg, p, 0.008 and 0.001, respectively).”
