Cerebrospinal fluid abdominal cyst. Computed tomographic resolution of a sonographic dilemma
(Elsevier, 1984-04)
A case of subhepatic cerebrospinal fluid cyst, an uncommon complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunting, is presented. Sonography could not reliably prove shunt tubing to be entering the cystic spaces. Results of computed ...
Differentiative changes in fucosyltransferase activity in newborn rat epidermal cells
(Elsevier, 1992-11-30)

N-System Amino Acid Transport at the Blood-CSF Barrier
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 1995-12)
Despite l-glutamine being the most abundant amino acid in CSF, the mechanisms of its transport at the choroid plexus have not been fully elucidated. This study examines the role of L-, A-, ASC-, and N-system amino acid ...
