Research Abstract |
General anesthetics are shown to induce wide spread apoptosis in the developing brain. We studied if erythropoietin (Epo) affords protection against anesthetic-induced neurotoxicity in neonatal rats. We found that neuroapoptosis was induced in the cerebral cortex and hypocampus after 6 hour exposure to general anesthetics. Intranasal and intraperitoneal administration of Epo failed to inhibit apoptosis. The results suggest that Epo is not effective in inhibiting anesthetic-induced neurotoxicity in immature brain.
