Isoflurane prevents MPTP opening of cultured cardiocytes exposed to hypoxia/reperfusion. Representative images of single cardiomyocytes from the four different groups are shown. (A) Con, control; (B) H/R, hypoxia/reoxygenation; (C) Iso + H/R, isoflurane plus H/R; (D) Iso, isoflurane alone. The fluorescent dots indicate mitochondria; the arrow indicates the nucleus. Scale bar, 10 μm.
