Propofol exposure during early gestation impairs learning and memory in rat offspring by inhibiting the acetylation of histone
20 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
Propofol is widely used in clinical practice, including non-obstetric surgery in pregnant women. Previously, we found that propofol anaesthesia in maternal rats during the third trimester (E18) caused learning and memory impairment to the offspring rats, but how about the exposure during early pregnancy and the underlying mechanisms? Histone acetylation plays an important role in synaptic plasticity. In this...
