Oxygen and Glucose Deprivation-Induced Neuronal Apoptosis is Attenuated by Halothane and Isoflurane

Abstract

This is the first investigation to evaluate the effect of volatile anesthetics on oxygen and glucose deprivation-induced neuronal apoptosis. Oxygen and glucose deprivation-induced neuronal apoptosis can be decreased by prior and continued administration of halothane or isoflurane.
