Research Abstract

We studied the general anesthetics on membrane capacitance and L-type of Ca^<2+> channel currents in single cardiac myocytes from guinea-pig ventricle. Membrane capacitance (tau)measured by electrophysiological techniques. Halothene, isoflurane and sevoflurane slightly decreased membrane capacitance in single ventricular myocytes. However, thiopental and propofol increased membrane capacitance. Mode of Ca^<2+> channel inhibition by hailothane, isoflurane and sevoflurane are non-use-dependent block, but Thiopental and propofol inhibited Ca^<2+> channel is use-dependent block actions. The results showed that the mechanism of intravenous and inhalation anesthetics action are differ from membrane capacitance. Thiopental and propofol inhibited Ca^<2+> channel through membrane fluidity, however, halothane and isoflurane did not through membrane fluidity.
