Vascular network expansion, integrity of blood –brain interfaces, and cerebrospinal fluid cytokine concentration during postnatal development in the normal and jaundiced rat

ConclusionThe data highlight developmental specificities of the blood –brain barrier organization and of CSF cytokine content. They also indicate that a direct effect of bilirubin on the vascular system organization, brain barriers morphological integrity, and inflammatory response of the choroid plexus-CSF system is not involved in the alteration of brain functions induced by severe neonatal jaundice.
