Abstract

Autoradiography was used to study the distribution of 2,2'-14C-methylene-bis-(3,4,6-trichlorophenol) (HCP) in pregnant marmoset monkeys in early (day 30-50) and late (around day 120) gestation and in a newborn (11 days old) pup. Radioactivity was present in the conceptus at all stages of gestation, although the foetal concentration was lower than the maternal. In the embryo an accumulation was observed in the neural tube and in the embryonic membranes. In the late foetus and newborn monkey the highest concentration of radioactivity was found in the liver and the intestinal contents. The brain of the adult and newborn animals showed low concentration. A partial blood-brain barrier was present in the late foetus but, in relation to other tissues, the foetal brain concentration was higher than that of the mother.

Blood Brain Barrier Regulation in Health & Disease

The blood brain barrier is essential in regulating the movement of molecules and substances in and out of the brain. Disruption to the blood brain barrier and changes in permeability allow pathogens and inflammatory molecules to cross the barrier and may play a part in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Here is the latest research in this field.

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.

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.
