Is neurotransmitter release involved in the mechanism of general anesthesia?
It is believed that neurotransmitters release modulates general anesthesia via several receptors system which are molecular targets for anesthetic agents in young-adult rats. However, middle-aged rats have rarely been used. Therefore, we studied in this age group. ⋯ Therefore, we question whether neurotransmitter release contributes to general anesthesia.
