An understanding of the mechanisms of transport of circulating nutrients and hormones through the brain capillary wall, i. e., the blood-brain barrier, is important because the availability in brain of these substances influences a number of cerebral metabolic pathways. For example, the utilization
Efflux transport at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) limits the brain tissue exposure to a variety of potential therapeutic agents, including compounds that are relatively lipophilic and would be predicted to permeate the endothelial lining of the brain microvasculature. Recent advances in molecular an
