Abstract excerpt
Sevoflurane, an inhaled ether general anesthetic agent, exerts a variety of neurotoxic effects, including oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuronal apoptosis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated. DJ-1 is a protein that exerts neuroprotective effects against different kinds of stress through multiple pathways. This study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective...
