## 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

## Abstract The brain capillary endothelium is a formidable barrier to entry of foreign chemicals into the central nervous system (CNS). For the most part it poorly distinguishes between therapeutics and neurotoxins and thus the bloodβbrain barrier both protects the brain from toxic chemicals and l
To characterize pentazocine (PTZ) transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), the cerebrovascular permeability-surface area product (PS(inf)) of PTZ was determined by a well-established in situ rat brain perfusion technique. The uptake kinetics of PTZ by the rat brain exhibited saturability, whi
