- Title
Liposomes and the physico-chemical basis of unconsciousness.
- Authors
Bangham, Alec D.
- Abstract
Discusses a study which developed a thermodynamic model to examine the role of liposomes in the mechanism whereby nitrogen mediates the narcosis of deep diving. Details of the proton pump/leak hypothesis to account for a compromised central nervous system (CNS) or a state of unconsciousness; Impact of disordered and leaky synaptosomes on CNS; Factors that will alter the ionic gradients of synaptic vesicles in an animal model.
