  • Title: The induction of apoptosis by local anesthetics: a comparison between lidocaine and ropivacaine.
    Author: Boselli E, Duflo F, Debon R, Allaouchiche B, Chassard D, Thomas L, Portoukalian J.
    Journal: Anesth Analg; 2003 Mar; 96(3):755-756. PubMed ID: 12598258.
    Abstract:
    This study suggests that lidocaine can induce apoptosis (detected by dual staining with Annexin V and propidium iodide) on T-cell line cultures in a time-dependent manner. This was not observed with ropivacaine.
