Incidence and outcome of mild cognitive impairment in a population-based prospective cohort

Since there is paucity of information on solute transporters in human ocular tissues, the aim of this study was immunohistochemical and functional characterization of peptide transporters (PEPT), organic cation transporters (OCTs), neutral and basic amino acid transporters (ATB0,+), and monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) in human ocular barriers. Immunohistochemical localization of transporters was achieved using 5-µm-thick paraffin-embedded sections of whole human eyes. In vitro transport studies were carried out across human cornea and sclera-choroid-retinal pigment epithelium (SCRPE) using a cassette of specific substrates in the presence and absence of inhibitors to determine the role of transporters in…
