Effect of body composition on isoflurane induction and recovery times in the meadow vole.
The inhalation anesthetic isoflurane is five times more soluble in lipid than in lean tissue. Using the meadow vole as a model, the authors sought to determine the effect of body composition on isoflurane induction and recovery times.
