We tested whether isoflurane preconditioning inhibits cardiomyocyte apoptosis and evaluated the role of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway in anesthetic preconditioning and determined whether PI3K/Akt signaling modulates the expression of pro- and antiapoptotic proteins in anesthetic preconditioning. Six-month-old New Zealand rabbits subjected to 40 min of myocardial ischemia ...
PURPOSE Volatile anesthetics possess cardioprotective properties, but it is unknown if the cardioprotective effects extend equally to all members of the class. Although sevoflurane is a relatively newer anesthetic than isoflurane, its introduction into practice was not preceded by a head-to-head comparison with isoflurane in a trial focusing on clinically important outcomes. Our objective was t...
The serotonergic system may play a role during general anesthesia. Furthermore, alterations in serotonergic neurotransmission in the hippocampus have been linked to depression and anxiety as well as to changes in arousal and cognition. Little is known about the effects of volatile anesthetics on hippocampal serotonin (5-HT) levels. In this study we examined the effects of isoflurane on hippocam...
BACKGROUND Nitrous oxide limits intraoperative hypothermia because the vasoconstriction threshold with nitrous oxide is higher than with equi-minimum alveolar concentrations of sevoflurane or isoflurane, presumably because of its stimulating actions on the sympathetic nervous system. Xenon, in contrast, does not cause sympathetic activation. Therefore, the authors tested the hypothesis that the...
BACKGROUND The authors previously reported that the isoflurane-caused reduction of the carbachol-evoked cytoplasmic Ca transient increase ([Ca]cyt) was eliminated by K or caffeine-pretreatment. In this study the authors investigated whether the isoflurane-sensitive component of the carbachol-evoked [Ca]cyt transient involved Ca influx through the plasma membrane. METHODS Perfused attached hum...
Commonly used anesthetic isoflurane has been reported to promote Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathogenesis by inducing caspase-3 activation. However, the up-stream mechanisms of isoflurane's effects remain largely to be determined. Specifically, there is a lack of a good model/system to elucidate the underlying mechanism of the isoflurane-induced caspase-3 activation. We therefore set out to a...
Background & Aim: Propofol is one of the sedative hypnotic drugs used for anesthetizing patients undergoing surgery. This drug is lipid based and therefore long-term infusion of it during prolonged surgeries and in intensive care units has the risk of hyperlipidemia. The aim of the study was to investigate the concentrations of triglyceride, cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, low densit...
BACKGROUND Direct myocardial effects of volatile anesthetics have been studied in various animal species in vitro. This study evaluated the effects of equianesthetic concentrations of desflurane, sevoflurane, isoflurane, and halothane on contractile parameters of isolated human atria in vitro. METHODS Human right atrial trabeculae, obtained from patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery, we...
The aim of the current study was to determine whether ventricular hypertrophy affects the delayed isoflurane preconditioning against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. Transverse aortic constriction (TAC) was performed on male Sprague-Dawley rats to induce left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, then sham-operated or hypertrophied rat hearts were subjected to isoflurane preconditioning (2....
BACKGROUND The volatile anesthetic isoflurane protects the heart from hypoxia/reperfusion (H/R) injury. However, it is still incompletely understood whether isoflurane exerts its protective role through preventing mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening. METHODS Primary cultured cardiocytes were exposed to H/R in the absence or presence of isoflurane. Cell cytotoxicity and a...
