Evaluation of Dopamine Receptor Integrity after Sevoflurane Exposure in Neonatal Rat Brain Using Positron Emission Tomography
Journal Title: Global Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Aims: The volatile general anesthetic sevoflurane is commonly used across all ages in the clinic. Sevoflurane-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.
