When we plotted the ED 50 values for morphine analgesia in WT, S375A, 10S/T-A and 11S/T-A mice against their respective ED 50 values for respiratory depression and constipation we found highly significant correlations (Fig. 4 , Supplementary Table 1 ), suggesting that both opioid effects cannot be uncoupled.
