Thus, more studies are needed to understand the detailed mechanism by which propofol exerts its antiarrhythmic effects. Propofol (3 μmol/L) significantly prolonged the rabbit AV conduction ...

Propofol is a drug that binds to GABA receptors in the brain, inhibiting neurons that have those receptors. Other anesthesia drugs act on different types of receptors, and the mechanism for how ...

The team then showed that propofol-induced transport delays led to a significant decrease of protein delivery to axons. "The mechanism by which propofol works is not fully understood," Bentley said.

The "cross check" with genetically modified GABA receptors in transgenic mice which no longer responded to propofol confirmed that the mechanism of action is the same: the altered receptor also no ...

Dr. Conrad Murray is accused of giving Jackson a deadly dose of the sedative. Sept. 27, 2011— -- The trial of Conrad Murray, the doctor accused of giving Michael Jackson a lethal dose of ...

either by directly repurposing propofol or by designing new, more selective drugs that have the same mechanism of action," said study co-senior author Dr. Crina Nimigean, professor of physiology ...

Propofol is a strong anesthetic that's used for surgery, some medical exams, and for sedation for people on ventilators -- never as a sleep aid. It's given by IV and should only be administered by ...

If Michael Jackson died from lethal levels of the powerful anesthetic propofol, then he must have been injected with much more of the drug than his personal physician reportedly told police he ...
