Application

Inactin® hydrate has been used to anesthetize rats to study stress-induced hypersensitivity and mice to study Cisplatin-induced neuropathy. It has also been used to anesthetize rats to measure the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inactin® is a long-lasting rodent anesthetic with minimal effects on cardiovascular tone and renal output. It exhibits sedative and hypnotic properties.

Rats were anesthetized with pentobarbital, pentobarbital and atropine, inactin [5-ethyl-5-(1'-methyl-propyl)-2-thiobarbiturate], ether and inactin, or urethane. Cardiovascular and arterial acid-base parameters were monitored over a 3-hour period of anesthesia. Heart rate, arterial pressures, and pH progressively decreased with duration of pentobarbital

Background The novel estrogen receptor, G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), is responsible for rapid estrogen signaling. GPER activation elicits cardiovascular and nephroprotective effects against salt-induced complications, yet there is no direct evidence for GPER control of renal Na+ handling. We hypothesized

Anesthesia is necessary for most animal studies requiring invasive procedures. It is well documented that various types of anesthesia modulate a wide variety of important metabolic and functional processes in the body, and as such, represent a potential limitation in

We studied sex differences in response to high K+ (HK) intake on thiazide-sensitive cation (Na+ and K+) excretion in wild-type (WT) and ANG II receptor subtype 1a (AT1aR) knockout (KO) mice. Renal clearance experiments were performed to examine Na+-Cl- cotransporter
