title: Influence of surgical manipulations on hexobarbital effects in rats.
abstract: In rats the hexobarbital metabolism is impaired after different surgical procedures leading to muscle damage. This leads to a prolongation of the hexobarbital action. The prolonged effect of hexobarbital in rats with lymphostatic encephalopathy is considered an unspecific consequence of the tissue damage during lymphectomy.
