Studies from College of Medicine in the area of blood brain barrier described

A new study, 'Reproductive age-related changes in the blood brain barrier: expression of IgG and tight junction proteins,' is now available. According to recent research from the United States, "We previously demonstrated that there is a significantly greater transfer of intravenously-injected Evan's blue dye into the forebrain of acyclic (reproductive senescent) females compared to young adult females, indicating that blood brain barrier permeability is compromised in the reproductive senescent forebrain. The present study examined brain IgG expression and microvessel tight junction proteins to assess ovarian age-related changes in microvascular permeability, and further compared young...
