Table 2. Changes in Intracellular Calcium Concentration
Human-washed platelets were preincubated with each anesthetic at 37°C for 5 min, then thrombin (0.01 u/ml) was added. Increase in [Ca2+]iwas defined as the difference between peak [Ca2+]iand its resting levels. Values are presented as mean ± SD.
* Value for control (no agent) is 821 ± 95.
†P < 0.01 compared with control value.
