The Involvement of Adenosine Triphosphate-Sensitive Potassium Channels in the Different Effects of Sevoflurane and Propofol on Glucose Metabolism in Fed Rats

BACKGROUND:Recently, we reported marked differences in the effects of sevoflurane and propofol on glucose metabolism; glucose use is impaired by sevoflurane, but not by propofol. Opening of adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channels (KATP channels) in β islet cells attenuates insulin secret
