QUICK LINKS

Isoflurane is leveraged in research to study the underlying mechanisms of general anesthesia and its influence on cellular and molecular processes. Investigations often focus on its interactions with neuronal ion channels, modulation of neurotransmitter systems, and effects on synaptic plasticity. Research on isoflurane also includes examining its role in the regulation of mitochondrial function and its impact on neuroprotection under conditions that can lead to cellular stress. Additionally, the compound is used to research its effects on the inflammatory response and on the regulation of gene expression related to stress and anesthetic exposure.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Was as expectedTook a bit to receive since it was a hazardous material but that is to be expected. Wish I could've ordered a larger size but none were available at the time of order.
