Electrophysiological investigation of the mechanism of action of xenon on ion-channels and determination of the neuroprotective potential of xenon in an in vivo model of traumatic brain injury

Xenon is a general anaesthetic gas with neuroprotective properties. Inhibition of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor glycine co-agonist site has been shown to mediate xenon neuroprotection against ischemic injury in vitro. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to produce point mutations in the Gl...
