BBB Question
Posted: Fri May 15, 2009 8:47 am
So I believe I have read somewhere that in MS the Blood Brain Barrier breaks down, correct me if I'm wrong. So I guess my question is, when/ if the BBB "breaks down" or w/e does this mean its going to stop meds from working properly by not getting thru the BBB or does it mean that drugs can be much more effective?
the way i was kinda thinking was if the BBB essentially works like "wall" then as it breaks down it would allow more things in, right? BUT.... If its like a
wire on a circuit board, if it were to "break down" then less would get through, less would work...?
hope that makes sense!
