Halothane and sevoflurane exert different degrees of inhibition on carotid body glomus cell intracellular Ca2+ response to hypoxia.

The purpose of this study was to ascertain if effects of halothane and sevoflurane (0.18-1.45 MAC) on the magnitude of the rise in intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)]i with approximately 90s hypoxia (measured using indo-1 dye) in rat pup carotid body type I glomus cells. paralleled their known effects o...
