Circulation of cerebrospinal fluid and interstitial around the central nervous system through brain transports not only those water-like fluids but also any solutes they carry, including nutrients, drugs, metabolic wastes. Passing tissue primarily during sleep, this circulation has implications for neurodegenerative disorders Alzheimer's disease, damage stroke cardiac arrest, flow-related such ...

Despite a blood-brain barrier for norepinephrine, the concentration of norepinephrine in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid has been observed to be similar. This relationship between plasma and cerebrospinal fluid norepinephrine levels suggest that peripheral sympathetic neurons innervating blood vessels to brain and spinal cord may contribute significantly to cerebrospinal fluid norepinephrine lev...

The presence of apolipoproteins A-I, E, C-II, and C-III and the absence of apolipoprotein B was demonstrated in human cerebrospinal fluid. The concentration of apolipoproteins was measured by electroimmunoassay. Apolipoproteins E, C-II, and C-III were present in cerebrospinal fluid at 3--5% of their concentration in plasma; the cerebrospinal fluid level of apolipoprotein A-I was 0.4%. Most of t...
