Isoflurane induces learning impairment that is mediated by interleukin 1β in rodents. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Postoperative cognitive decline is a clinical syndrome. Volatile anesthetics are commonly used during surgery. It is conceivable that volatile anesthetics may contribute to postoperative cognitive decline.

The General Anesthetic Isoflurane Bilaterally Modulates Neuronal Excitability
iScience, 2020 Summary: Volatile anesthetics induce hyperactivity during induction while producing anesthesia at higher concentrations. They also bidirectionally modulate many neuronal functions. However, the neuronal mechanism is unclear.

The effect of four anaesthetic protocols for maintenance of anaesthesia on trans-diaphragmatic pressure in dogs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The diaphragm is the main inspiratory muscle and the main indicator of diaphragmatic contractility is the trans-diaphragmatic pressure (Pdi). The aim of this clinical study was to determine the effect of four different anaesthetic protocols on Pdi in ...

Lower doses of isoflurane treatment has no beneficial effects in a rat model of intracerebral hemorrhage [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage is a subtype of stroke that has a poor prognosis without an adequate therapy. Recently, the use of anesthetics such as isoflurane has been shown to be protective after cerebral ischemia.

Ferroptosis Contributes to Isoflurane Neurotoxicity
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2019 The underlying mechanisms of isoflurane neurotoxicity in the developing brain remain unclear. Ferroptosis is a recently characterized form of programmed cell death distinct from apoptosis or autophagy, characterized by iron-dependent reactive oxygen ...

Interpreting Neuroendocrine Hormones, Corticosterone, and Blood Glucose to Assess the Wellbeing of Anesthetized Rats during Euthanasia [PDF]
, 2018 Current recommendations for assessing animal wellbeing during euthanasia suggest that measuring neuroendocrine hormones-such as ACTH, noradrenaline, and adrenaline-is preferable to measuring corticosterone and blood glucose because of the sensitivity of ...
