Patterson, Fang Liu, Charles M. Fogle, Scott M. Apana, Marc Berridge, William Slikker Jr, Cheng Wang and Xuan Zhang* | | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Aims: The volatile general anesthetic sevofl urane is commonly used across all ages in the clinic. Sevofl urane-induced neurotoxic effects on the developing dopaminergic system are still unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the integrity of the D2/D3 receptor in developing rat brain utilizing molecular imaging techniques. |
