Glutamate Taste: Discrimination between the Tastes of Glutamate Agonists and Monosodium Glutamate in Rats [PDF]
Taste aversion studies have demonstrated that rats conditioned to avoid monosodium glutamate (MSG) with amiloride added to reduce the intensity of the sodium component of MSG taste, generalize this aversion to aspartic acid and to L-AP4, but not to ionotropic glutamate receptor agonists.

A Mini-Review of the Role of Glutamate Transporter in Drug Addiction
Goals: The development of new treatment for drug abuse requires identification of targetable molecular mechanisms. The pathology of glutamate neurotransmission system in the brain reward circuit is related to the relapse of multiple drugs.

Non-canonical glutamate-cysteine ligase activity protects against ferroptosis
Cysteine is required for maintaining cellular redox homeostasis in both normal and transformed cells. Deprivation of cysteine induces the iron-dependent form of cell death known as ferroptosis; however, the metabolic consequences of cysteine starvation ...

Inhibition of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier protects from excitotoxic neuronal death. [PDF]
Glutamate is the dominant excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, but under conditions of metabolic stress it can accumulate to excitotoxic levels.

Production of
We studied production of D-glutamate from L-glutamate using a bioreactor consisting of two columns of sequentially connected immobilized glutamate racemase (EC 5.1.1.3, from Bacillus subtilis IFO 3336) and L-glutamate oxidase (EC 1.4.3.11, from Streptomyces sp.

Abnormalities in Glutamate Metabolism and Excitotoxicity in the Retinal Diseases
In the physiological condition, glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter in the retina. However, excessive glutamate can be toxic to retinal neurons by overstimulation of the glutamate receptors.

Molecular Mechanisms of Glutamate Toxicity in Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease, the pathological features of which include the presence of Lewy bodies and the neurodegeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta.

Metabolic management of microenvironment acidity in glioblastoma
Glioblastoma (GBM), similar to most cancers, is dependent on fermentation metabolism for the synthesis of biomass and energy (ATP) regardless of the cellular or genetic heterogeneity seen within the tumor.

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors Inhibit Microglial Glutamate Release
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 is present in the brain at an average concentration—typically 10–12 mM—far in excess of those of other amino acids. In glutamate-containing vesicles in the brain, the concentration of glutamate may even exceed 100 mM. Yet because glutamate is a
