Systemic Administration of Glibenclamide Fails to Achieve Therapeutic Levels in the Brain and Cerebrospinal Fluid of Rodents. by Carolina Lahmann, Holger B Kramer, Frances M Ashcroft

“…Our results therefore suggest that little glibenclamide reaches the central nervous system when given systemically, that glibenclamide is rapidly removed across the BBB when given intracranioventricularly, and that any glibenclamide that does enter (and is below our detection limit) is insufficient to influence neuronal function as assessed by anaesthesia sensitivity.…”

Ontogeny of Toll-like receptor mediated cytokine responses of human blood mononuclear cells. by Nathan P Corbett, Darren Blimkie, Kevin C Ho, Bing Cai, Darren P Sutherland, Arlene Kallos, Juliet Crabtree, Annie Rein-Weston, Pascal M Lavoie, Stuart E Turvey, Natalie R Hawkins, Steven G Self, Christopher B Wilson, Adeline M Hajjar, Edgardo S Fortuno, Tobias R Kollmann

“…We found that innate TLR responses (i) known to support Th17 adaptive immune responses (IL-23, IL-6) peaked around birth and declined over the following 2 years only to increase again by adulthood; (ii) potentially supporting antiviral defense (IFN-α) reached adult level function by 1 year of age; (iii) known to support Th1 type immunity (IL-12p70, IFN-γ) slowly rose from a low at birth but remained far below adult responses even at 2 years of age; (iv) inducing IL-10 production steadily declined from a high around birth to adult levels by 1 or 2 years of age, and; (v) leading to production of TNF-α or IL-1β varied by stimuli. …”
