The Diverse Actions of Volatile and Gaseous Anesthetics on Human-cloned 5-Hydroxytryptamine3Receptors Expressed in Xenopus Oocytes
1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: General anesthetics can modulate the 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5-HT3) receptor, which may be involved in processes mediating nausea and vomiting, and peripheral nociception. The effects of the new volatile anesthetic sevoflurane and the gaseous anesthetics nitrous oxide (N2O) and xenon (Xe) on the 5-HT3 receptor have not been well-characterized. METHODS: Homomeric human-cloned 5-HT3A receptors were...
