TABLE 1.
Gallbladder Weight | Gallbladder Isoflurane | Calculated Isoflurane Conc.a | |
---|---|---|---|
mg | μg | mM | |
No isoflurane control | 4.9 | N.D. | N.D. |
Emptied gallbladder control | 3.3 | N.D. | N.D. |
Isoflurane-treated mouse 1 | 26.0 | 4.72 | 2.2 |
Isoflurane-treated mouse 2 | 12.6 | 3.25 | 1.3 |
Isoflurane-treated mouse 3 | 17.3 | 3.52 | 1.4 |
N.D., not detected.
The calculated isoflurane concentration assumes mouse gallbladder volume of 8 μl/16 g mouse total body weight (Graewin et al., 2004).
