Fig. 2From: Nutritional ketosis delays the onset of isoflurane induced anesthesiaa. Latency to anesthesia induction measured by the time until immobility in G1D mice. In ketogenic diet (KD), KE and KS groups the latency to anesthesia was significantly longer (p = 0.0003, p = 0.0003, p = 0.0136, respectively) compared to control (standard diet, SD); b. Blood βHB level was significantly elevated in KE and KS groups, compared to control (p = 0.0117, p = 0.0169, respectively) and compared to their baseline (p = 0.02, p = 0.04, respectively). Bar on left represents baseline value, bar on the right represents value after treatment (after 10 weeks) in each group; c. There was a positive correlation between latency to anesthesia induction and blood βHB levels when the groups means were considered (R2 = 0.4531)Back to article page
