Comparative Study[The influences of propofol on different kinds of brain injuries in rat brain slices].
To investigate the effects of propofol on the three kinds of brain injuries induced by metabolic disorder, neurotoxicity of excitatory amino acid, and oxygen-derived free radicals in rat cerebral cortical and hippocampal slices. ⋯ Propofol has a neuroprotective effect against hydrogen peroxide injury at low and middle concentrations. Propofol of low and middle concentrations does not improve the decrease of the value of A(490). however, propofol of high concentration augments the oxygen-glucose deprivation and glutamate injuries both in the rat cerebral cortical slices and hippocampal slices.
