Abstract excerpt
Elimination of amyloid-ss peptide (Ass) from the brain is poorly understood. After intracerebral microinjections in young mice, (125)I-Ass(1-40) was rapidly removed from the brain (t(1/2) </= 25 minutes), mainly by vascular transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The efflux transport system for Ass(1-40) at the BBB was half saturated at 15.3 nM, and the maximal transport capacity was reached between 70 nM...
