## Abstract In this study, we investigated the involvement of the blood‐brain barrier (BBB) in the brain of the dystrophin‐deficient mdx mouse, an experimental model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). To this purpose, we used two tight junction markers, the Zonula occludens (ZO‐1) and claudin‐1
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
