Deltorphin transport across the blood-brain barrier.
In vivo antinociception studies demonstrate that deltorphins are opioid peptides with an unusually high blood-brain barrier penetration rate. In vitro, isolated bovine brain microvessels can take up deltorphins through a saturable nonconcentrative permeation system, which is apparently distinct from previously described systems involved in the transport of neutral amino acids or of enkephalins....
متن کاملThe blood-brain barrier. Transport across the cerebral endothelium.
THE ORIGINAL idea of a blood-brain barrier arose at the turn of the century as an explanation of the properties of the living brain in relation to certain dyes and pharmacologically active compounds, injected either into the bloodstream or directly into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of experimental animals (reviewed by Bradbury, 1979). This developed into the general concept of a cellular barri...
متن کاملTransport across the blood-brain barrier of pluronic leptin.
Leptin is a peptide hormone produced primarily by adipose tissue that acts as a major regulator of food intake and energy homeostasis. Impaired transport of leptin across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) contributes to leptin resistance, which is a cause of obesity. Leptin as a candidate for the treatment of this obesity is limited because of the short half-life in circulation and the decreased BB...
متن کاملSignaled drug delivery and transport across the blood-brain barrier.
We use a mathematical model to describe the delivery of a drug to a specific region of the brain. The drug is carried by liposomes that can release their cargo by application of focused ultrasound (US). Thereupon, the drug is absorbed through the endothelial cells that line the brain capillaries and form the physiologically important blood-brain barrier (BBB). We present a compartmental model o...
متن کاملTransport of xenobiotics across the blood-brain barrier.
Distinct transport proteins regulate the movement of waste products and xenobiotics across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Members of the drug transporter families MDR, MRP, and OATP have been identified in the BBB, and a detailed characterization of the involved proteins is now required to target drugs more efficiently to the brain.
