Abstract
Quantification of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and transport in brain tissue is crucial in understanding brain disorders and developing systemic and non-systemic drug delivery strategies to the brain. This chapter summarizes BBB permeability measurement in vitro (Part I) and the in vivo non-invasive methods for quantifying the BBB permeability to solutes and brain tissue transport in rat brain by employing intravital multiphoton microscopy and a curving fitting method by using an unsteady mass transfer mathematical model (Part II).Entities:
