The effect of halothane anaesthesia on liver regeneration.

چکیده
The effects of halothane and diethyl ether on the regenerating liver following 70 per cent hepatectomy were studied in Fisher/344 (F) rats. Our aim was to discover whether halothane administered repeatedly and over prolonged periods could influence the liver regenerative process or hepatocyte function. We also wished to know if the effects of halothane differed from those of diethyl ether. We found: 1. Prolonged halothane or diethyl ether anaesthesia did not inhibit liver mitotic activity, even if administered repeatedly. 2. The effects of halothane and diethyl ether on liver cell division were identical. 3. With reference to liver regeneration, halothane is as safe as diethyl ether when administered during extensive hepatectomy.

The effect of intraperitoneal administration of halothane.
Intraperitoneal administration of halothane to rats causes an inflammatory reaction of the peritoneum. The degree of inflammation is dependent on the dose. The effects of this non-specific inflammatory reaction on the liver should be evaluated before conclusions relating to the effect of halothane administered by inhalation on the liver are drawn from the results of intraperitoneal administrati...
متن کاملHalothane anaesthesia can block insulin stimulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase activity in mammary glands of 24-hour starved lactating rats.
The effect of halothane anaesthesia on the activity of the mitochondrial enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase was studied in starved lactating rats. Extracts of freeze-clamped mammary gland and liver were assayed for pyruvate dehydrogenase activity. The fraction of the enzyme in the phosphorylated inactive form was increased greatly by starvation or by streptozotocin diabetes, and halothane anaesthesi...
متن کاملHepatic circulation and hepatic function during anaesthesia and surgery. IV. Halothane anaesthesia.
HEPATIC CENTRO-LOBULAR ~ O S I S is a non-specific lesion related to liver hypoxia. 1-e This lesion depends on the severity and duration of the oxygen deficit. A three-hour period, in healthy dogs, does not produce an injury detectable with the light microscope, 6 while damage is reported after a continuous six-hour period, or after shorter but repeated exposures to hypoxia. 7 However, the pres...
متن کاملA comparison between the effect of halothane and propofol on liver enzymes after general anesthesia
Background: Halothane is the routine used inhalation anesthetic drug in the world but at present, there is an increasing interest for using intravenous anesthetics like propofol. The purpose of this study was to compare these anesthetic effects on hepatic enzymes.Methods: From 2006 to 2007, this study was performed on fifty eight patients classified in class I of American Society of Anesthetics...
متن کاملThe effect of halothane on oxygen transport in liver and brain tissue.
Normal rat liver and brain slice respiration was studied at 37 °C by the polarographic technique of Longmuir in the presence of oxygenated solutions and with addition of clinical concentrations of halothane to the mixtures. In the presence of oxygen alone, passive and facilitated diffusion seem responsible for the transport of oxygen in both tissues. In presence of halothane, the passive diffus...
