## Abstract In adult rats, using the singleβpass brain uptake technique with a tritiated water standard, Lβphenylalanine was shown to enter brain across the bloodβbrain barrier (BBB) by both a saturable and diffusionary process. A kinetic analysis of the data revealed Michaelis constant (K~a~) of 0
The influence of plasma zinc concentration on the rate of zinc transport into the brain was examined using an in vitro model of the blood-brain barrier. The model was constructed by culturing porcine brain capillary endothelial cells on porous membrane filters suspended between two chambers of fluid
