Electrostatic Contributions of Aromatic Residues in the Local Anesthetic Receptor of Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
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

open access: yesNeuroscience Bulletin, 2018
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

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Medicine, 2021
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]

open access: yes, 2018
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
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.

Bottom-Up and Top-Down Mechanisms of General Anesthetics Modulate Different Dimensions of Consciousness

open access: yesFront. Neural Circuits, 2017
There has been controversy regarding the precise mechanisms of anesthetic-induced unconsciousness, with two salient approaches that have emerged within systems neuroscience.

General anesthetic action profile on the human prefrontal cortex cells through comprehensive single-cell RNA-seq analysis

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: The cellular and molecular actions of general anesthetics to induce anesthesia state and also cellular signaling changes for subsequent potential “long term” effects remain largely elusive.

General Anesthetic Techniques in Swine

open access: yesVeterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 1996
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]

open access: yes, 2012
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2013
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
