A novel link between Campylobacter jejuni bacteriophage defence, virulence and Guillain–Barré syndrome
Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is a post-infectious disease in which the human peripheral nervous system is affected after infection by specific pathogenic bacteria, including Campylobacter jejuni. GBS is suggeste...

Blood–brain barrier dysfunction and recovery
In this paper we discuss the importance of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) as an interface between blood and brain. Many (brain) diseases change the functionality and integrity of the BBB. Mostly this results in...

Modulators of Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) Permeability: In Vitro and in Vivo Drug Transport to the Brain
Transport to the brain is important for drugs that have their site of action in the brain compartment. However, drug transport to the brain is limited by the presence of various barriers in the brain. These co...

Dopamine release in the prefrontal cortex in response to memantine following sub-chronic NMDA receptor blockade with memantine: a microdialysis study in rats
Memantine is an uncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist which blocks the NMDA receptor with moderate-affinity in a use- and voltage dependent manner. In clinical practice it is used chronically...

Adaptations of NMDA and dopamine D2, but not of muscarinic receptors following 14 days administration of uncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonists
Behavioral changes have previously been reported following administrations of uncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonists memantine, amantadine and MK-801 for 14 days, at the doses that produce plasma levels comp...

Volume Regulation of the in Vitro Blood-Brain Barrier by Osmoreactive Amino Acids during Stress
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is more permeable to blood-borne compounds during stress or disease. Moreover, during stress, an extra demand is put on the regulatory systems for the maintenance of cell volume. ...

Rectal absorption enhancement of rate-controlled delivered ampicillin sodium by sodium decanoate in conscious rats
Because of the relatively poor intestinal absorption of ampicillin sodium, efforts have been made to enhance ampicillin absorption by co-administration of absorption promoters. In the present study the enhanci...
