Mechanisms underlying neonate-specific metabolic effects of volatile anesthetics [PDF]

eLife, 2021
Volatile anesthetics (VAs) are widely used in medicine, but the mechanisms underlying their effects remain ill-defined. Though routine anesthesia is safe in healthy individuals, instances of sensitivity are well documented, and there has been significant

Relationship between volatile anesthetics and functional outcomes in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage [PDF]

Journal of Anesthesia, Analgesia and Critical Care
Background Volatile anesthetics have been suggested to exert neuroprotective effects in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by a ruptured cerebral aneurysm. However, their effects on functional outcomes remain unverified.

Altered anesthetic sensitivity of mice lacking Ndufs4, a subunit of mitochondrial complex I. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Anesthetics are in routine use, yet the mechanisms underlying their function are incompletely understood. Studies in vitro demonstrate that both GABA(A) and NMDA receptors are modulated by anesthetics, but whole animal models have not supported the role ...

Development of NMDA receptors contributes to the enhancement of electroencephalogram oscillations under volatile anesthetics in rats [PDF]

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022
BackgroundVolatile anesthetics including sevoflurane and isoflurane enhance oscillations of cortical electroencephalogram (EEG), partly by their modulations on glutamate-mediated excitatory synaptic transmission. Expression of NMDA receptors is increased
