Isoflurane Modulates Genomic Expression in Rat Amygdala

Abstract excerpt

General anesthesia, at a minimum, provides amnesia and unresponsiveness. Although anesthetics have many modulatory effects on neuronal ionophore protein complexes, it is not clear that the resulting electrophysiologic changes are the sole mechanisms of clinical anesthetic action. Cells respond to environmental changes in several ways, including alterations in DNA transcription leading to changes in the cell's...
