Comparison of the effects of two anesthetics, isoflurane and urethane, on bladder function in rats
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2023 We compared the effects of two anesthetics, isoflurane and urethane on bladder function in rats. Arterial pressure, cystometry (CMG), and rhythmic bladder contractions (RBCs) under isovolumetric conditions, mechanosensitive single-unit afferent ...

Isoflurane anesthesia promotes cognitive impairment by inducing expression of β-amyloid protein-related factors in the hippocampus of aged rats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Isoflurane anesthesia has been shown to be responsible for cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and development of AD in the older age groups.

Anesthetic isoflurane increases phosphorylated tau levels mediated by caspase activation and Aβ generation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Anesthetic isoflurane has been shown to promote Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathogenesis by inducing caspase activation and accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ). Phosphorylation of tau protein is another important feature of AD neuropathogenesis.

Isoflurane impairs oogenesis through germ cell apoptosis in C. elegans
Scientific Reports, 2021 Anesthetic isoflurane has been reported to induce toxicity. However, the effects of isoflurane on fecundity remain largely unknown. We established a system in C. elegans to investigate the effects of isoflurane on oogenesis.

Minocycline attenuates cognitive impairment induced by isoflurane anesthesia in aged rats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a clinical phenomenon characterized by cognitive deficits in patients after anesthesia and surgery, especially in geriatric surgical patients. Although it has been documented that isoflurane exposure impaired

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 ...
