Aim: The spinal cord is pivotal in immobility induced by volatile anesthetics because the anesthetics depress the activity of motor neurons in the spinal cord. The aim of this study was to observe the effects of sevoflurane on pain processing at the spinal level.
Methods: The firing of the gastrocnemius muscle was evoked by electrical stimulation to the ipsilateral hindpaw in rats.
Experimental research on phospholipids variation of halothane on liver mitochondria.
World J Gastroenterol
February 1999
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how halothane causes liver toxicity by examining its effects on mitochondrial membrane components.
- Researchers used high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to analyze the impact of halothane and sevoflurane on rat liver phospholipids.
- Findings revealed that low concentrations of halothane led to degradation of key mitochondrial phospholipids and an increase in lysophosphatidylcholine, suggesting that changes in liver mitochondrial phospholipids contribute to halothane's hepatotoxic effects.
