Abstrakt: Enzyme immunoassay showed penetration of two glia-specific antigens, glial fibrillar acid protein GFAP and specific brain glycoprotein alpha(2)GP, through the blood-brain barrier in rats treated with toxic doses of sodium barbital. The permeability of the blood-brain barrier was completely normalized 3 days after treatment. This method can be used in clinical practice for evaluation of the severity of impairment and dynamics of normalization of blood-brain barrier properties during acute intoxication with barbiturates.
