In order to evaluate the clinical implication of experimental studies on halothane-induced liver damage in phenobarbital-treated rats, we studied the clinical records of 315 consecutive patients who underwent brain surgery with halothane anesthesia. After exclusion of subjects with a history of alco

β¦ Synopsis
To evaluate the respective roles of halothane metabolism and hypoxia in rats with halothane hepatotoxicity, experiments were designed with special reference to blood gas. After pretreatment with phenobarbital (80 mg per kg., i.p.) for four consecutive days, rats were exposed to 1.0% halothane under a mildly hypoxic condition (FiOz = 14%) for 2 hr. Since halothane anesthesia caused significant decrease in PaOz levels, rats exposed to a highly hypoxic atmosphere (Fi02 =

Uptake, metabolism and biliary elimination of infused cysteinyl leukotrienes were investigated in single-pass perfused rat liver. Hypoxia did not impair uptake of infused [3H]leukotriene C4, but inhibited biliary excretion of radioactivity by about 50% compared with normoxic control experiments. In

The intravenous administration of bacterial endotoxin to fasted rats elicited basal portal and systemic venous hyperinsulinemia and hyperglucagonemia. Enhanced pancreatic secretion of insulin and glucagon was implied by the elevated portal venous hormonal levels. Elevated insulin and glucagon levels
