Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of fluid movement into, through and out of the brain: evaluation of the evidence
TL;DR: Flow rates measured using phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging reveal CSF movements to be more rapid and variable than previously supposed, even implying that under some circumstances net flow through the cerebral aqueduct may be reversed with net flow into the third and lateral ventricles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localisation of breast cancer resistance protein in microvessel endothelium of human brain.
TL;DR: Investigation of other ABC transporters in both normal and tumour human brain tissue and the presence of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) demonstrate that BCRP is located at the blood–brain barrier, mainly at the luminal surface of microvessel endothelium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of the breast cancer resistance protein with plant polyphenols.
TL;DR: It is shown that plant-derived polyphenols that interact with P-glycoprotein can also modulate the activity of the recently discovered ABC transporter, breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2), which has important consequences in vivo for the distribution of these compounds as well as other BCRP substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluid and ion transfer across the blood–brain and blood–cerebrospinal fluid barriers; a comparative account of mechanisms and roles
TL;DR: The blood–brain barrier is the most important interface for maintaining interstitial fluid (ISF) K+ concentration within tight limits and is also important in regulating HCO3− and pH in ISF: the principles of this regulation are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulatory effects of plant phenols on human multidrug-resistance proteins 1, 4 and 5 (ABCC1, 4 and 5).
TL;DR: Investigating the interactions of six common polyphenols with the multidrug‐resistance‐associated proteins suggests that dietary flavonoids such as quercetin and silymarin can modulate transport activities of MRP1, ‐4 and ‐5.
