Is there a blood-brain relationship for saturated fatty acids during development?

Biology of the Neonate
J M BourreN A Baumann

Abstract

Transport of subcutaneously injected [1-14C]-stearic acid through the blood-brain barrier is compared with endogenous biosynthesis (within the brain) during postnatal brain development in mice. The uptake is very important during glial cell multiplication and myelination; endogenous microsomal synthesis is most active during myelination, soluble de novo mechanism is prominent during cell multiplication (mitochondrial systems are not directly related to these events). A parallel is drawn between myelin fatty acids, microsomal synthesis and uptake from the blood.

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.
