Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors Inhibit Microglial Glutamate Release [PDF]
ASN Neuro, 2012 Pro-inflammatory stimuli evoke an export of glutamate from microglia that is sufficient to contribute to excitotoxicity in neighbouring neurons. Since microglia also express various glutamate receptors themselves, we were interested in the potential ...

Glutamate and reinstatement [PDF]
Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2009 The importance of glutamate in the reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior has been established. New molecular and neurochemical adaptations in the glutamatergic system which drive cocaine relapse have been identified, such as the ability of CB1 receptor stimulation to reduce basal glutamate levels and the involvement of the GluR1 receptor subunit in

British Journal of Pharmacology, 2006 Glutamatergic synaptic transmission in the mammalian central nervous system was slowly established over a period of some 20 years, dating from the 1950s. Realisation that glutamate and like amino acids (collectively known as excitatory amino acids (EAA)) mediated their excitatory actionsviamultiple receptors preceded establishment of these receptors as

Global trends in research of glutamate in epilepsy during past two decades: A bibliometric analysis
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Epilepsy affects more than 70 million people in the world. It is characterized by recurrent spontaneous seizures, and it is related to many neurological, cognitive, and psychosocial consequences.

Energetics of Glutamate Binding to an Ionotropic Glutamate Receptor [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2017 Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are ligand-gated ion channels that are responsible for the majority of excitatory transmission at the synaptic cleft. Mechanically speaking, agonist binding to the ligand binding domain (LBD) activates the receptor by triggering a conformational change that is transmitted to the transmembrane region, opening the ...

Glutamate, Glutamate Receptors, and Downstream Signaling Pathways [PDF]
International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2013 Glutamate is a nonessential amino acid, a major bioenergetic substrate for proliferating normal and neoplastic cells, and an excitatory neurotransmitter that is actively involved in biosynthetic, bioenergetic, metabolic, and oncogenic signaling pathways. Glutamate signaling activates a family of receptors consisting of metabotropic glutamate receptors (

Pivotal Enzyme in Glutamate Metabolism of Poly-g-Glutamate-Producing Microbes
Life, 2013 The extremely halophilic archaeon Natrialba aegyptiaca secretes the L-homo type of poly-g-glutamate (PGA) as an extremolyte. We examined the enzymes involved in glutamate metabolism and verified the presence of L-glutamate dehydrogenases, L-aspartate ...

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021 The astrocytic cystine/glutamate antiporter system xc– (with xCT as the specific subunit) imports cystine in exchange for glutamate and has been shown to interact with multiple pathways in the brain that are dysregulated in age-related neurological ...
