Effect of inspired oxygen fraction during anesthesia on inflammation and antioxidant enzyme activity in the mouse cortex and hippocampus
Only 80% oxygen increased hippocampal IL-1β compared with controls, suggesting region-specific vulnerability to oxygen-induced neuroinflammation. However, no significant differences between FiO₂ levels (30% vs. 80%) indicate a limited neuroinflammatory impact under 3 h of anesthesia. Further studies with longer exposure and surgical conditions are needed to clarify the clinical implications.
