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

## Abstract Brain ischemia is associated with an acute release of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, notably TNF‐α and IL‐6 and failure of the blood–brain barrier. Shear stress, hypoxia‐hypoglycemia, and blood leukocytes play a significant role in blood–brain barrier failure during transient or permanent
## Abstract The morphofunctional preservation of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) was evaluated in the isolated guinea pig brain maintained in vitro by arterial perfusion. Electron microscopy evaluation after 5 hr in vitro demonstrated that cerebral capillaries and BBB specializations in this preparat
Accumulation of carnitine was studied in immortalized rat brain capillary endothelial cells R B E ~, as an in vitro model of blood-brain barrier. Both uptake and efflux phenomena were found independent on "a+] gradient. A quick acylation of carnitine in RBE4 cells was observed, especially leading to
In the course of the validation of blood-brain barrier in vitro models the aim of this work was to characterize two promising continuous cell lines with regard to their tightness properties. PBMEC/C1-2 and ECV304 cells were cultured in several media with different compositions on Transwell inserts.
