The block of serotonin signaling in ganglion cells by pentobarbital could explain the reduced chorda tympani responses in WT mice
under pentobarbital anesthesia (Fig. 7B).
Not exact matches
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.
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.
Under the proposed legislation lethal injection using sodium
pentobarbital or a derivative, a procedure known as EBI, would be the only allowed method of euthanasia for animals in North Carolina's public shelters.
