It has been suggested previously that tramadol increases central nervous system activity and 'lightens' anaesthesia with volatile agents. We assessed the effects of tramadol on the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane in 56 Wistar rats, instrumented chronically with an arterial and central venous catheter. The MAC of isoflurane was determined using the tail clamp method under three conditions: (1) after injection of saline (control); (2) after administration of tramadol 10 mg kg(-1) i.v.; and (3) after administration of morphine 1 mg kg(-1) i.v. The studies were repeated after treatment with the antagonists naloxone or yohimbine, Tramadol and morphine both reduced the MAC of isoflurane from mean 1.38 (SEM 0.05)% to 1.22 (0.06)% and 1.17 (0.06)%, respectively (P
