Abstract excerpt
Inhaled anesthetics were first introduced into clinical use in the 1840s. Molecular and transgenic animal studies indicate that inhaled anesthetics act through several ion channels, including γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABAARs) and two-pore domain K+ (K2P) channels, but other targets may mediate anesthetic effects. Mutations in the type 1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1), which is a calcium release channel on...
