Fig. 8From: Sevoflurane and isoflurane inhibit KCl-induced Class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase α subunit mediated vasoconstriction in rat aortaEffects of sevoflurane and isoflurane on KCl-induced MYPT1/696 phosphorylation in rat aortic smooth muscle. The aortas strips were incubated in the presence of 1.7 %, 3.4 % sevoflurane (SEVO) or 1.2 %, 2.3 % isoflurane (ISO), or 1 mM LY294002, or 1 uM Y27632 for 15 min before and during exposure to KCl. MYPT1/696 phosphorylation development in response to anesthetic or inhibitor was expressed as percentage relative to that induced by KCl. ## P < 0.01 compared with the baseline without KCl (n = 7, each)Back to article page
