Dexamethasone effect on blood-brain barrier damage caused by acute hypertension in x-irradiated rabbits

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica
C BlomstrandB Rosengren

Abstract

Unilateral X-ray exposure of brain increases the vulnerability of cerebral vessels to acute hypertension in the brain hemisphere exposed to radiation. A preventive effect of dexamethasone was observed when treatment with the drug was started before irradiation; but also when the drug was given 24 h before acute hypertension was induced, 1 week after irradiation.

Blood Brain Barrier

The blood brain barrier is a border that separates blood from cerebrospinal fluid. Discover the latest search on this highly selective semipermeable membrane here.

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.
