Objective To investigate the effects of propofol on the whole-cell excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSC) and spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic current (sEPSC) in hippocampal CAl neurons.Methods Wistar rats (13-19 days old) weighing 40-60 g were decapitated and the hippocampi were immediately removed and placed in 0-4℃ artificial CSF aerated with 95% O2 and 5% CO2 . The hippocampi were sliced (400 ?m thick) . EPSCs were recorded in hippocampal CA1 neurons by stimulating the Schaffer collateral / commissural pathway. The 50 slices were divided into 5 groups (n = 10 each): group Ⅰ intralipid-1; group Ⅱ propofol-1; group Ⅲ SR95531 + propofol; group Ⅳ intralipid-2 and group Ⅴ propofol-2. In group Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ after EPSCs were recorded for 10 min, 10% intralipid 90 ?l, 1% propofol 90 ?l (final concentration was 100 ?mol?L-1 and SR95531 10 ?mol?L-1 + propofol 100 ?mol?L-1 were added to the perfusate and again EPSCs were recorded for 40min. The changes in amplitude of EPSC were analyzed. In group Ⅳ and Ⅴ after the cell membrane was perforated and being stabilized for 10-15 min 10% intralipid 90 ?l and 1 % propofol (100 ?mol?L-1) was added to the perfusate and sEPSCs were recorded without stimulation. The holding potential was - 70 mV. Results Intralipid didn't affect EPSC but propfol 100 ?mol?L-1 reduced EPSC to 47.7% of the baseline value. SR95531 could reverse the effect of propofol on EPSCs. The frequency, amplitude and decay time of sEPSC in group propofol-2 were reduced to 31. 9% , 70. 9% and 50. 7% of those in group Ⅳ (intralipid-2) (P
