Electrostatic Contributions of Aromatic Residues in the Local Anesthetic Receptor of Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels [PDF]
Antiarrhythmics, anticonvulsants, and local anesthetics target voltage-gated sodium channels, decreasing excitability of nerve and muscle cells. Channel inhibition by members of this family of cationic, hydrophobic drugs relies on the presence of highly ...

Regulatory Effect of General Anesthetics on Activity of Potassium Channels
General anesthesia is an unconscious state induced by anesthetics for surgery. The molecular targets and cellular mechanisms of general anesthetics in the mammalian nervous system have been investigated during past decades.

Inhaled Anesthetics: Environmental Role, Occupational Risk, and Clinical Use
Inhaled anesthetics have been in clinical use for over 150 years and are still commonly used in daily practice. The initial view of inhaled anesthetics as indispensable for general anesthesia has evolved during the years and, currently, its general use ...

High-throughput screening in larval zebrafish identifies novel potent sedative-hypnotics [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Many general anesthetics were discovered empirically, but primary screens to find new sedative-hypnotics in drug libraries have not used animals, limiting the types of drugs discovered.

A mini-review of the effects of inhalational and intravenous anesthetics on oxidative stress in dogs
General anesthesia increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can exacerbate or increase oxidative stress and thus affect the prognosis of surgical procedures.

General Anesthetic Techniques in Swine
General anesthesia techniques for swine can be challenging due to the animal's temperament, anatomic traits, physical condition, and the environment in which the clinician may be working. Taking these factors into consideration, this article provides specific information on preanesthetic considerations, venous catheterization, drug selection ...

Monosynaptic Functional Connectivity in Cerebral Cortex During Wakefulness and Under Graded Levels of Anesthesia [PDF]
The balance between excitation and inhibition is considered to be of significant importance for neural computation and cognitive function. Excitatory and inhibitory functional connectivity in intact cortical neuronal networks in wakefulness and graded ...

Long-term effects of neonatal single or multiple isoflurane exposures on spatial memory in rats
General anesthetics are neurotoxic to neonatal rodents and nonhuman primates. Neonatal exposure to general anesthetics has been associated with long-term cognitive deficits in animal models. Some data from humans are consistent with long-term deleterious
