Effect of isoflurane anesthesia on early and late protein expression of NMDA receptor subunits NR2B in the hippocampus of mouse brain. A. 24 hours post anesthesia, I₁ and I₂ group increased NR2B protein expression significantly (P < 0.05), I₃ and I₄ group decreased compared with control group (P < 0.05). B. 2 weeks post anesthesia, I₁ and I₂ group increased NR2B protein expression continuously, I₄ dereased continously compared with control group. There was no difference between group I₃ and control group [Data are presented as means, error bars represent SD, One-way ANOVA and LSD analysis were performed, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01].
