Molecular Aspects of Membrane Structure in Cerebral Edema

  • Chapter

Abstract

Cerebral edema, regardless of the inciting cause, and irrespective of the cellular sites e.g., tight junctions of vascular structures, glial processes, etc., ultimately represents a pertubation of membrane biomolecules that maintain water and solute compartments. Furthermore, it is likely that in the highly organized tissues of the central nervous system more than one membrane system is involved in the pathogenesis of cerebral edema and the neural dysfunctions that may accompany this process.
