Expression of Glucose Transporter-1 and Aquaporin-4 in the Cerebral Cortex of Stroke-Prone Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats in Relation to the Blood-Brain Barrier Function

These results indicate that AQP4 may play a much more important role in BBB function than GLUT-1, and thereby also in water distribution in the cerebral cortex of SHRSP with severe hypertension.
