Table 2. Effects of PKC Inhibition on EAAT3 in the Presence or Absence of VAs

The concentration of VAs is 0.70 mm for isoflurane, 0.59 mm for halothane, and 0.78 mm for sevoflurane. Each set of data has been normalized by using the mean value of the control group from the same batch of oocytes (n = 3 or 4). Units are folds of controls, with controls being 1. Data are mean ± SEM (n = 10–18).

*P < 0.05 compared with control; EAAT3 = excitatory amino acid transporter type 3; PKC = protein kinase C; VA = volatile anesthetic.
