Table 1. Cytotoxic Effects of Propofol on Macrophages

Values shown as mean ± SD for n = 9.

Macrophages were treated with 3, 30, and 300 μm propofol for 1, 6, and 24 h. Cell viability, LDH release, and cell cycle were analyzed to determine the toxicity of propofol to macrophages.

*P < 0.05; statistically different from the respective control.

LDH = lactate dehydrogenase.
