Protein transport across cerebral vessels during metrazole-induced convulsions.

The effects of pentylenetetrazole-induced convulsions on cerebrovascular permeability for horseradish peroxidase were studied in locally anesthetized, artificially respired, paralyzed cats. Horseradish peroxidase circulated for 1, 2.5, 5, 10, 30, and 60 min and accumulated in medium-size, i.e., arterial or venous, blood vessel walls. Cerebral neuropil was permeated earliest in thalamic nuclei including medial and lateral geniculate nuclei. No tight junctions containing horseradish peroxidase were found. With 1.0 and 2.5 min circulation of horseradish peroxidase, arterial adventitia and basement membranes contained more peroxidase than surrounding interstitial space in contrast to veins and capillaries. Convulsions increased the number of endothelial vesicles containing horseradish peroxidase in arteries, veins, and capillaries but total number (stained plus unstained) of endothelial vesicles was increased slightly only in capillaries. We conclude that increased permeability is initially at the arterial level, although veins may also become permeable. The role of the endothelial vesicles in transit or protein in and out of the nervous system is not clear.
