[Effects of inhalation anesthetics on hepatic ATP and L/P ratio in the rat subjected to hemorrhagic shock].

Both anesthetics and hemorrhage may affect the hepatic energy metabolism. The effects of inhalation anesthetics (halothane, enflurane and isoflurane) on hepatic ATP level and L/P ratio were evaluated in rat under hemorrhagic shock. There was no significant difference in the hepatic ATP levels among 4 groups. However the L/P ratio in 3 inhalation anesthetic groups was significantly lower than that in control group. These results suggest that inhalation anesthetics may improve the hepatic energy metabolism during hemorrhagic shock.
