Time course of the changes in PRP and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) release during hypoxia (H)-reoxygenation (R) after preconditioning with 4% sevoflurane or 50% N2O. a, b In the sevo-pre group, LVDP and PRP recovered significantly better than in the CT group. In the N2O-pre group, however, recoveries of LVDP and PRP were not different from CT. c The amount of GOT released was significantly lower in sevo-pre group than in the N2O-pre group. N normal, H hypoxia, R reoxygenation. *P < 0.05 versus CT; †P < 0.01 versus CT
