For an inert gas the narcotic potency was found to be proportional to its lipid solubility.
3.
The rate at which this happens is largely determined by two factors : Ionization and lipid solubility.
4.
Harmaline's high lipid solubility enables accumulation in the brain tissue upon consumption from these environmental sources.
5.
Standard tables, based on relative lipid solubilities, list conversion factors for narcotic effect of other gases.
6.
The potency of an anesthetic is associated with its lipid solubility which is measured by its oil / gas partition coefficient.
7.
In patch form, fentanyl is a good alternative to morphine therapy for its high lipid solubility and ability to be worn on the body.
8.
However, a number of factors, such as pH, molecular weight, and lipid solubility, may determine whether the route is practical.
9.
Due to the lipid solubility of diacetylmorphine, it can cross the blood brain barrier faster than morphine, subsequently increasing the reinforcing component of addiction.
10.
This measures the relative concentration of different gases required to prevent stimulus, and shows similar results for anesthetic potency as the measurements of lipid solubility.
