  • Title: Volatile anesthetics selectively alter [3H]ryanodine binding to skeletal and cardiac ryanodine receptors.
    Author: Connelly TJ, Hayek RE, Rusy BF, Coronado R.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1992 Jul 15; 186(1):595-600. PubMed ID: 1632794.
    Abstract:
    The effect of clinical concentrations of volatile anesthetics on ryanodine receptors of cardiac and skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum was evaluated using [3H]ryanodine binding. At 2 volume percent, halothane and enflurane stimulated binding to cardiac SR by 238% and 204%, respectively, while isoflurane had no effect. In contrast, halothane and enflurane had no effect on [3H]ryanodine binding to skeletal ryanodine receptors, while isoflurane produced a significant stimulation. These results suggest that volatile anesthetics interact in a site-specific manner with ryanodine receptors of cardiac or skeletal muscle to effect Ca2+ release-channel gating.
