Note. Data are means ± SEM or means with 95% CI. Bottom: bottom of curve fit (maximum fentanyl effect); Top: top of curve fit (maximum reversal of fentanyl effect); log (IC50), Bottom and Top were each compared by one‐way ANOVA with Dunnett's Multiple Comparison post hoc test, control group = MOR‐WT pH 7.4.
