The physiological effects of ionic lanthanum on the insect blood-brain barrier
Experientia
|June 15, 1976
Abstract:
Lanthanum had a small effect on the barrier, but did not significantly increase its sodium or potassium permeability. There was no effect on nerve conduction unless the barrier was deliberately damaged. The results lend confidence to the use of lanthanum as an extracellular tracer.
