Text: Compared with pre-CPB values, PKC and p38 MAPK activities (in nanomoles per milligram of protein per minute and arbitrary units, respectively) increased significantly and to the same extent in both groups : PKC, from 20. 7 + / -0. 7 to 29. 9 + / -3. 9 in controls (p = 0. 037) and from 18. 4 + / -1. 1 to 23. 9 + / -1. 8 in sevoflurane (p = 0. 016) ; p38 MAPK, from 88. 6 + / -8. 5 to 312. 9 + / -66. 2 in controls (p = 0. 005) and from 114. 6 + / -14. 7 to 213. 4 + / -51. 8 in sevoflurane (p = 0. 045).
