Genetic effects in Drosophila on the potency of diverse general anesthetics: a distinctive pattern of altered sensitivity.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations that influence the sensitivity of an organism to a volatile general anesthetic can be divided into two classes. In one, sensitivity to all other volatile agents is affected to a similar degree. Although this class may contain mutations of interest for understanding anesthesia, it is also likely to contain mutations that merely alter general health. In the second class, mutations confer non-uniform...
