The effects of sevoflurane and propofol on glucose metabolism under aerobic conditions in fed rats.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Recent studies reported that intraoperative hyperglycemia is an independent risk factor for mortality and morbidity related to surgery. Volatile anesthetics, such as sevoflurane, impair glucose use, suggesting their possible ... Read more...

Acute methadone treatment reduces myocardial infarct size via the delta-opioid receptor in rats during reperfusion.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Methadone is an opioid agonist often given to manage acute and chronic pain. We sought to determine whether methadone compared with morphine dose dependently reduces myocardial infarct size (IS) and whether the mechanism is delta-opioid ... Read more...

Fentanyl inhibits glucose-stimulated insulin release from beta-cells in rat pancreatic islets.

5 Sep 2009 AIM: To explore the effects of fentanyl on insulin release from freshly isolated rat pancreatic islets in static culture. METHODS: Islets were isolated from the pancreas of mature Sprague Dawley rats by common bile duct intraductal collagenase V ... Read more...
