The widely used inhalation anesthetic, isoflurane, potentially induces neuronal injury in clinical practice. Previous studies showed multiple forms of cell death that resulted from isoflurane-induced cytotoxicity, but the precise underlying mechanism ...

HIF-1α mediates isoflurane-induced vascular protection in subarachnoid hemorrhage [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) depends critically on delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) – a process driven primarily by vascular events including cerebral vasospasm, microvessel thrombosis, and microvascular dysfunction ...

Enhanced charge-independent Mitochondrial Free Ca\u3csup\u3e2+\u3c/sup\u3e and Attenuated ADP-induced NADH Oxidation by Isoflurane: Implications for Cardioprotection [PDF]
Modulation of mitochondrial free Ca2 + ([Ca2 +]m) is implicated as one of the possible upstream factors that initiates anesthetic-mediated cardioprotection against ischemia–reperfusion (IR) injury.

Compensated right ventricular function of the onset of pulmonary hypertension in a rat model depends on chamber remodeling and contractile augmentation. [PDF]
Right-ventricular function is a good indicator of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) prognosis; however, how the right ventricle (RV) adapts to the pressure overload is not well understood.

Isoflurane exposure during mid-adulthood attenuates age-related spatial memory impairment in APP/PS1 transgenic mice. [PDF]
Many in vitro findings suggest that isoflurane exposure might accelerate the process of Alzheimer Disease (AD); however, no behavioral evidence exists to support this theory.

Hydrocarbon molar water solubility predicts NMDA vs. GABAA receptor modulation. [PDF]
BackgroundMany anesthetics modulate 3-transmembrane (such as NMDA) and 4-transmembrane (such as GABAA) receptors. Clinical and experimental anesthetics exhibiting receptor family specificity often have low water solubility. We hypothesized that the molar

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 ...

Mechanisms of Volatile Anesthetic-Induced Myocardial Protection [PDF]
Volatile anesthetics protect myocardium against reversible and irreversible ischemic injury. Experimental evidence from several in vitro and in vivo animal models demonstrates that volatile agents enhance the recovery of stunned myocardium and reduce the
