Nonparametric analysis of dose-response relationships.

abstract：:Recent controversies in the existence of saturable binding of general anesthetics in brain tissues prompted a careful examination of specific binding of anesthetics to neural receptors. We examined the binding of both local and general anesthetics using electron spin resonance and radioligand criteria. Our results sug...
