SLO-2 is cytoprotective and contributes to mitochondrial potassium transport. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Mitochondrial potassium channels are important mediators of cell protection against stress. The mitochondrial large-conductance "big" K(+) channel (mBK) mediates the evolutionarily-conserved process of anesthetic preconditioning (APC), wherein exposure ...

A Double-Edged Sword: Volatile Anesthetic Effects on the Neonatal Brain
Brain Sciences, 2014 The use of volatile anesthetics, a group of general anesthetics, is an exceedingly common practice. These anesthetics may have neuroprotective effects. Over the last decade, anesthetic induced neurotoxicity in pediatric populations has gained a certain ...

Regional knockdown of NDUFS4 implicates a thalamocortical circuit mediating anesthetic sensitivity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Knockout of the mitochondrial complex I protein, NDUFS4, profoundly increases sensitivity of mice to volatile anesthetics. In mice carrying an Ndufs4lox/lox gene, adeno-associated virus expressing Cre recombinase was injected into regions of the brain ...
