1 Volatile anesthetics did not attenuate the release of CGRP after spinal cord stimulation, whereas isoflurane at 2% and halothane at 1.5% significantly inhibited depressor responses to exogenously administered CGRP. Halothane calcitonin-related polypeptide alpha Rattus norvegicus
2 Thus, isoflurane and halothane at large concentrations attenuate NANC depressor responses by attenuating the depressor action of CGRP, not CGRP release. Halothane calcitonin-related polypeptide alpha Rattus norvegicus
3 IMPLICATIONS: The anesthetics isoflurane and halothane attenuate nonadrenergic, noncholinergic depressor responses mediated by calcitonin gene-related peptide in the rat without affecting the release of the peptide. Halothane calcitonin-related polypeptide alpha Rattus norvegicus
