Abstract: | Plasmodium yoelii infected cerebral microvessels of mice had an enhanced time-dependent, temperature-sensitive, and saturable uptake of 14C]-amino acid. viz. leucine, valine and glycine. Metabolic inhibitors caused a noticeable inhibition of amino acid uptake in normal microvessels as compared to infected cerebral microvessels indicating that the uptake of 14C]-L-leucine, 14C]-L-valine and 14C]-glycine is an energy dependent process. |
