Ultralow concentrations of bupivacaine exert anti-inflammatory effects on inflammation-reactive astrocytes
Bupivacaine is a widely used, local anesthetic agent that blocks voltage-gated Na+ channels when used for neuro-axial blockades. Much lower concentrations of bupivacaine than in normal clinical use, < 10−8 m, evoked Ca2+ transients in astrocytes from rat cerebral cortex, that were inositol trisph...
