Regional blood-to-tissue transport, expressed as a unidirectional transfer rate constant (K), was measured in experimental brain tumors using .alpha.-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) labeled with 14C and quantitative autoradiography. A total of 16 oligodendrogliomas, 4 mixed gliomas, 3 astrocytomas, 2 diffuse gliomatoses, 1 anaplastic astrocytoma, 1 ependymoma and 4 malignant schwannomas were studied in 9 rats. The mean K for all glioma classifications were similar, averaging 2.6 .+-. 0.4 (standard error of the mean) ml .cntdot. kg-1 min-1, and were only slightly higher than those for nontumorous parietal corex (2.1 ml .cntdot. kg-1 min-1), corpus callosum (0.9 ml .cntdot. kg-1 .cntdot. min-1), and a comparable region of brain tissue in the contralateral hemisphere (1.3 ml .cntdot. kg-1 .cntdot. min-1). Values of K varied minimally in the intracerebral gliomas and were marginally correlated with tumor cell morphology in only 2 tumors. In some (but not all) of the larger gliomas, increased vascularity, with or without endothelial proliferation, was associated with a 3- to 15-fold increase in K. Regional K values in malignant schwannomas were highly variable (4-207 ml .cntdot. kg-1 .cntdot. min-1) and generally were not correlated with specific histological features of the tumor, except in some regions with increased vascularity. Estimates of the average fractional extraction of AIB by the intracranial gliomas and malignant schwannomas were 0.01 and 0.2, respectively; average fractional extractions for nontumorous brain were .apprx. 0.003.
