The epithelial cells of the choroid plexus secrete cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), by a process that involves the movement of Na(+), Cl(-) and HCO(3)(-) from the blood to the ventricles of the brain. This creates the osmotic gradient, which drives the secretion of H(2)O. The unidirectional movement of th
Transport properties of 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) and 2',3'-dideoxyinosine (DDI) were characterized in the isolated rat choroid plexus. AZT and DDI competitively inhibited the active transport of [3H]benzylpenicillin, a prototypic organic anion, with Ki values of 85.4 +/- 13.1 and 155 +/- 22
