Some of the aquaporins (AQPs), a family of water channel proteins, are expressed in astrocytes. The expression of astrocytic AQPs is altered after brain insults, such as ischemia and head trauma. However, little is known about the regulation of AQP expressions. Endothelins (ETs), which are vasoconst
## Abstract Extracts prepared from prenatal, neonatal, and adult rat brain were examined for the presence of astrocyte mitogens. Extracts were characterized by molecular weight separation on Sephadex Gโ100. Two major peaks of mitogenic activity, at 80K and 23K daltons, were identified in the adult
