Data provided by the National Library of Medicine- Hypothesis: volatile anesthetics produce immobility by acting on two sites approximately five carbon atoms apart.
- Inhaled anesthetics have hyperalgesic effects at 0.1 minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration.
- Naturally occurring variability in anesthetic potency among inbred mouse strains.
- The nonimmobilizer 1,2-dichlorohexafluorocyclobutane does not affect thermoregulation in the rat.
- Neither GABA(A) nor strychnine-sensitive glycine receptors are the sole mediators of MAC for isoflurane.
- The concentration of isoflurane required to suppress learning depends on the type of learning.
- Relevant concentrations of inhaled anesthetics for in vitro studies of anesthetic mechanisms.
- Short-term memory resists the depressant effect of the nonimmobilizer 1-2-dichlorohexafluorocyclobutane (2N) more than long-term memory.
- Isoflurane causes anterograde but not retrograde amnesia for pavlovian fear conditioning.
- Isoflurane hyperalgesia is modulated by nicotinic inhibition.
- Issues in the design and interpretation of minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration (MAC) studies.
- Heteromeric nicotinic inhibition by isoflurane does not mediate MAC or loss of righting reflex.
