Journal ArticleDOI
Energy-dependent volume regulation in primary cultured cerebral astrocytes.
TL;DR: Data suggest that the cell volume response of astrocytes in hypoosmotic medium involves the net movement of osmoles by a mechanism dependent on cellular energy and tightly coupled to the (Na, K)‐ATPase ion pump.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective effects of α-MSH and MIF-1 on the blood-brain barrier
TL;DR: It is possible that at least some CNS effects of peripherally administered peptides are exerted by alteration of the permeability of the BBB to other substances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dose-dependent, amphetamine-induced changes in permeability of the blood-brain barrier of normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats.

TL;DR: There was a high correlation between the acute change in blood pressure caused by the administration of amphetamine and the change in permeability of the blood-brain barrier.
Journal ArticleDOI
Octanoic acid inhibits astrocyte volume control: implications for cerebral edema in Reye's syndrome.
TL;DR: The dose‐dependent effects of octanoate may contribute to the severe astrocyte swelling observed in the brains of Reye's syndrome patients.
