Figure 2. Calorimetric profiles of MLV and LUV systems under the influence of general anesthetics.

Figure 2

Inhalational anesthetics were introduced to MLV and LUV under a high-pressure system (HPS) at 40 atm, 70°C, during 2 hrs. After this pressurizing process, a heating scan is taken by the DSC. Inhalational anesthetics, Xe (red squares) and N2O (blue triangles) in (a) MLV and (c) LUV. Intravenous anesthetics were added to the MLV and LUV suspension to their respective concentrations, 56 mM (PPF) and 25 mM (PB). After 10 min the heating scan is started. Intravenous anesthetics, PB (red squares) and PPF (blue triangles) in (b) MLV and (d) LUV. Control experiments (black circles) showed the main transition temperature at 41.8°C ± 0.01°C. The solution was adjusted to pH ~5 (HCl/NaOH). Error bars represent standard deviation.
