Transport of glucose across the blood-tissue barriers
K Takata, H Hirano, M Kasahara - International review of cytology, 1997 - Elsevier
In specialized parts of the body, free exchange of substances between blood and tissue
cells is hindered by the presence of a barrier cell layer (s). Specialized milieu of the
compartments provided by these “blood-tissue barriers” seems to be important for specific
functions of the tissue cells guarded by the barriers. In blood-tissue barriers, such as the
blood-brain barrier, blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier, blood-nerve barrier, blood-retinal
barrier, blood-aqueous barrier, blood-perilymph barrier, and placental barrier, endothelial or …
