摘要
Transport of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) from blood to brain in pentobarbital-anesthetized rats was examined using in situ perfusion. In situ perfusion with washed sheep red blood cells allowed the precise control of the composition of the perfusate that was necessary for a detailed examination of the transport of AIB. Retrograde perfusion at 4 ml/min through the left external carotid arter with oxygenated, artificial blood (hematocrit = 0.3) maintained a normal electroencephelogram during a 10 min experiment. The perfusate cerebral blood flow, at a value of 1.2 +/- 0.1 ml/g/min, and the perfusate cerebral plasma volume, at a value of 5.4 +/- 1.9 mu l/g, in the left frontal cortex were within the range of reported in vivo values. The in situe PS product for AIB (3.8 +/- 0.4 mu l/g/min) was higher than the value observed in vivo. AIB uptake was reduced to the in vivo value by 2 mM phenylalanine (1.3 +/- 0.3 mu l/g/min) and equally well by a mixture of neutral amino acids at their normal plasma concentrations but was unaffected by 2 mM methyl-AIB or removal of sodium from the perfusate. A kinetic analysis showed that the apparent K-i for pheylalanine inhibition of AIB transport was 19.8 +/- 4.9 mu M. Thus, although AIB has affinity for the large neutral amino acid carrier in the blood-brain barrier, uptake by this mechanism in vivo is negligible due to competition by other amino acids in the plasma.
