Transport of Steroid Hormones through the Rat Blood-Brain Barrier: PRIMARY ROLE OF ALBUMIN-BOUND HORMONE

Abstract

These studies were undertaken to investigate (a) the permeability properties of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to the major gonadal and adrenal steroid hormones, and (b) the role of the binding proteins of plasma (albumin and specific globulins) in the regulation of BBB steroid hormone transport.
