Isoflurane's Effect on Protein Conformation as a Proposed Mechanism for Preconditioning

Figure 4

Isoflurane increases surface residue modification. HSA was treated with isoflurane prior to dilution and analysis of MG-induced formation of AGEs (a) and NPA-induced acetylation (b). The measurements were delayed and indicate an isoflurane-induced effect that was not labile. Data are presented as mean values ± SD from 2–4 experiments.
