 note = {We analyzed the effects of halothane as an inhalational anesthetic agent on electrocardiogram （ECG）
parameters in C57/BL6 mice. Following induction of anesthesia using 2% halothane, the ECGs showed a regular
pattern and the heart rate （HR） was within an acceptable range （~500 bpm）. The HR decreased with increasing
halothane concentration in a concentration-dependent fashion.
　 The frequency domain analysis showed that the high-frequency （HF） component decreased and the lowfrequency
（LF） component increased in a concentration-dependent fashion. Therefore, the LF/HF ratio increased
with increasing halothane concentration, suggesting effects on the autonomic nervous system.
　 We analyzed the pharmacological response to sympathetic blockade with propranolol, a typical adrenergic
β-blocker, under halothane anesthesia. Propranolol administration resulted in a decreased HR; interestingly,
intraperitoneal injection of propranolol （120 μg/kg body weight） resulted in arrhythmia （sick sinus syndrome）
during anesthesia with 3% halothane.
　Our results indicate the importance of selecting a suitable anesthetic agent for C57/BL6 mice in pharmacological studies, 弘前医学. 67, 2017, p.129-135},
