Abstract excerpt
The present study aimed to determine the kinetics of L-3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) uptake in an immortalised cell line of rat capillary cerebral endothelial cells (clones RBE 4 and RBE 4B), to define the type of inhibition produced by L-5-hydroxytryptophan (L-5-HTP), 2-aminobicyclo(2,2,1)-heptane-2-carboxylic acid (BHC) and N-(methylamino)-isobutyric acid (MeAlB) and its sodium dependence. Non-linear...
