It is a model of anesthetic product toxicity?

In the title of the article is a lack of the most significant factors, which probably are responsible for the observed changes, the anesthetic products.
It could be a particularly suitable model for the toxicity of the anesthetic products and frequency of their use.
The rabbits were anaesthetized 3 times with 12 mg/kg every month. The third anesthesia did not account for metabolic changes, because they were killed. However, they live for three months after the treatment of anesthetic products (final 72 mg of ketamine per rabbit, 3 kg).
Excellent results showing, how frequency of anesthesia and the use of a small molecule, which lead to protein modification, results in pathology.
There is a lack of information about diet. The source of the proteins in the diet is important.

After the B.4.1 paragraph should be a point.

Membrane cholesterol, lactic acid and cancer

dhastagir sheriff — 2010-08-21T14:20:34Z

It is very interesting to note that lactic acid producing bacteria reduce plasma cholesterol and possibly influence membrane cholesterol in cancer patients.One need to understand that there is always a thin line that divides beneficial as well as harmful effects. One must remember that lactic acidosis is an end stage complication of patients with metastases in the liver(1). Altering membrane cholesterol may affect membrane signaling pathways so vital for maintaining cell growth and regulation. (2). Therefore, one must be cautious in extrapolating experimental results to say human cancer biology and therapy.

Change of the first name of Author 3

Satoshi Yoshida — 2010-08-04T21:53:10Z

Please correct the first name of Author 3 from "Syu" to "Shu". Basically both are OK for pronunciation of the corresponding Japanese word, but this change to "Shu" is a request from the author 3.

Change a comma in table 2 by a point

JOSE ALFREDO MARTINEZ — 2010-06-22T18:21:25Z

Dear Mrs/Mr:
In table 2, in "lactate" parameter (HFS column) it says 22,4±2.9 and should say 22.4±2.9
I would gratefull if you could change this error.
Best wishes,
Almudena Lomba

Until this issue completely resolved by the Publisher, and in order to avoid any misunderstanding it should be clarified to the reader that Ref #12 (ie., Katsouyanni et al. Int J Epidemiol. 1997;26:S118–S127), does not refer to the FFQ used in this work.
