Effect of sevoflurane anaesthesia on plasma concentrations of glutathione S-transferase.

abstract：:Fast inactivation of sodium channel function is modified by anaesthetics. Its quantitative contribution to the overall anaesthetic effect is assessed by removing the fast inactivation mechanism enzymatically. Sodium channels from human brain cortex were incorporated into planar lipid bilayers. After incorporation, cha...
