Vesicular Glutamate Transporters (SLCA17 A6, 7, 8) Control Synaptic Phosphate Levels

open access: yesCell Reports, 2021
Summary: Vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUTs) fill synaptic vesicles with glutamate. VGLUTs were originally identified as sodium-dependent transporters of inorganic phosphate (Pi), but the physiological relevance of this activity remains unclear ...

Glutamate-induced depression of EPSP–spike coupling in rat hippocampal CA1 neurons and modulation by adenosine receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The presence of high concentrations of glutamate in the extracellular fluid following brain trauma or ischaemia may contribute substantially to subsequent impairments of neuronal function.

Astrocytes Maintain Glutamate Homeostasis in the CNS by Controlling the Balance between Glutamate Uptake and Release

open access: yesCells, 2019
Glutamate is one of the most prevalent neurotransmitters released by excitatory neurons in the central nervous system (CNS); however, residual glutamate in the extracellular space is, potentially, neurotoxic.

Inhibition of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier protects from excitotoxic neuronal death. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Glutamate is the dominant excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, but under conditions of metabolic stress it can accumulate to excitotoxic levels.

Abnormalities in Glutamate Metabolism and Excitotoxicity in the Retinal Diseases

open access: yesScientifica, 2013
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.

Surface Grafting of Poly(L-glutamates). 2. Helix Orientation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
In this paper the average helix orientation of surface-grafted poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate) (PBLG), poly(γ-methyl L-glutamate) (PMLG), and poly(γ-methyl L-glutamate)-co-(γ-n-stearyl L-glutamate) (PMLGSLG 70/30) was investigated by means of FT-IR ...

Glutamate-induced Exocytosis of Glutamate from Astrocytes

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2007
Recent studies indicate that astrocytes can play a much more active role in neuronal circuits than previously believed, by releasing neurotransmitters such as glutamate and ATP. Here we report that local application of glutamate or glutamine synthetase inhibitors induces astrocytic release of glutamate, which activates a slowly decaying transient ...

The role of glutamate receptors in the regulation of the tumor microenvironment

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
Glutamate, as one of the most important carbon sources in the TCA cycle, is central in metabolic processes that will subsequently influence tumor progression.

Differential Effects of Dietary MSG on Hippocampal Dependent Memory Are Mediated by Diet

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
IntroductionFree glutamate is a common dietary flavor enhancer and is also an important excitatory neurotransmitter in the body. A good number of food additives which contain glutamate are found in the Western Diet, and this diet has also been linked to ...

Glutamate transporter control of ambient glutamate levels

open access: yesNeurochemistry International, 2014
Accurate knowledge of the ambient extracellular glutamate concentration in brain is required for understanding its potential impacts on tonic and phasic receptor signaling. Estimates of ambient glutamate based on microdialysis measurements are generally in the range of ∼2-10μM, approximately 100-fold higher than estimates based on electrophysiological ...
