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

Figure 2

Comparison of fluorescence emission spectra after substantial dilution of HSA. Spectra before (a) and after (b) dilution: control (solid line) and isoflurane-treated (dash-dotted). Data obtained from representative samples. Spectra were integrated over 310 to 400 nm to obtain areas under the curve and compared (inset). Undiluted samples were measured at 1% attenuation of emission signal.
