10.1111/j.1471-4159.2005.03111.x   Aquaporins (AQPs) are a
family of proteins that mediate water transport across cells,
but the extent to which they are involved in water transport
across endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier is not
clear. Expression of AQP1 and AQP4 in rat brain microvessel
endothelial cells was investigated in order to determine whether
these isoforms were present and, in particular, to examine the
hypothesis that brain endothelial expression of AQPs is dynamic
and regulated by astrocytic influences. Reverse-transcriptase
