Sentences with phrase «pentobarbital anesthetic»

In contrast, Jaber et al. (2014), using pentobarbital anesthetic, reported that ODS injection in rats had no effect on chorda tympani responses.

Not exact matches

Because barbiturate anesthetics (e.g., pentobarbital) are reported to block 5 - HT3 signaling in heterologous expression systems (Barann et al., 2000; Rüsch et al., 2007), we tested the effects of different anesthetics (pentobarbital vs urethane) on chorda tympani responses.

In WT animals, responses to all tastants except 5 mm quinine were larger under urethane anesthesia than with pentobarbital (Fig. 7B, Table 4), but this difference in response magnitude with anesthetic did not occur in the KO mice (Fig. 7C, Table 4), with the exception of sucrose.

Further, we show that pentobarbital and possibly other barbiturate anesthetics inhibit 5 - HT3 - mediated responses in this system, affecting some taste modalities more than others.

This has not been observed in single - fiber studies of taste specificity in mice (Ninomiya et al., 1982, 1984a, b); however, those studies were performed using pentobarbital as an anesthetic, so the 5 - HT3 receptors would have been blocked under those conditions.

Some mice were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital, a common anesthetic used for taste nerve recording (Horio et al., 2011) and used in a recent study on the possible role of 5 - HT1 and 5 - HT3 in taste function (Jaber et al., 2014).

In our study, pentobarbital inhibited 5 - HT evoked calcium signals in geniculate ganglion neurons and, at anesthetic levels in mice, significantly inhibits 5 - HT3 function in vivo.

For the anesthetic doses used in our experiments, plasma and tissue concentrations of intraperitoneally injected pentobarbital in mice are likely to be at or above the reported IC50 values for 5 - HT3 receptors (Nelson and Halberg, 1973).

Briefly, birds were anesthetized with barbiturate anesthetic, equithesin (intrapectorally: 0.85 g chloral hydrate / 4.2 ml pentobarbital / 0.42 g MgSO4 / 6.92 ml propylene glycol / 1.78 ml 100 % ethanol to a total volume of 20 ml with water, then filtered) and secured on a rotary table.

It is true that miniscule levels of pentobarbital, an anesthetic used to euthanize animals, have been found in some foods.

Your cat will be given a barbiturate anesthetic (sodium pentobarbital) that will quickly result in a loss of consciousness and death.

Your veterinarian will give your pet an overdose of an anesthetic drug called sodium pentobarbital, which quickly causes unconsciousness and then gently stops the heartbeat.

When Pentobarbital sodium anesthetic became available in 1930, it made veterinarians more confident about entering the abdomen of dogs and cats to perform serious surgery.
