More Details
Physiological Research
Anteos menippe was used in a 2024 study that provided the first direct electrocardiographic (ECG) characterization in . The study demonstrated that isoflurane produces smooth and reversible anesthesia in this , with time of 48.5 ± 8.9 seconds and recovery time of 117.7 ± 16.2 seconds. Cardiac spike frequency decreased from 64.3 ± 3.9 min⁻¹ to 35 ± 3.3 min⁻¹ during anesthesia.
