GDH-Dependent Glutamate Oxidation in the Brain Dictates Peripheral Energy Substrate Distribution
Glucose, the main energy substrate used in the CNS, is continuously supplied by the periphery. Glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter, is foreseen as a complementary energy contributor in the brain.

Collaborative learning of images and geometrics for predicting isocitrate dehydrogenase status of glioma [PDF]
The isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene mutation status is an important biomarker for glioma patients. The gold standard of IDH mutation detection requires tumour tissue obtained via invasive approaches and is usually expensive. Recent advancement in radiogenomics provides a non-invasive approach for predicting IDH mutation based on MRI.

Isoenzyme pattern of glutamate dehydrogenase as a reflection of nitrogen metabolism in Lupinus albus
Glutamate dehydrogenase (L-glutamate: NAD dehydrogenase, EC 1.4. 1.2; GDH) activity and electrophoretic separation pattern of the enzyme were studied. The enzyme was extracted from embryos of Lupinus albus decotyledonized and cultured for 24, 48 and 72 ...

Free Energy of Activation for the Comorosan Effect [PDF]
Initial reaction rate data for lactic dehydrogenase / pyruvate, lactic dehydrogenase / lactate and malic dehydrogenase / malate enzyme reactions were analyzed to obtain activation free energy changes of -329, -195 and -221 cal/mole, respectively, for rate increases associated with time-specific irradiation of the crystalline substrates prior to ...

Carbon Paste Electrode Modified Poly-Glutamic Acid (PGA) with Molecularly Imprinted for Detection of Rhodamine B [PDF]
Rhodamine B is a synthetic dye used for coloring textiles, paper and ceramics. In addition, Rhodamine B is also often used for coloring ingredients in food ingredients such as crackers, syrups, candy, cakes, and is often used for coloring lipsticks. The accumulation of Rhodamine B in the body can cause liver, kidney and lymph damage.

The glutamine-glutamate cycle provides neurons with astrocyte-generated glutamate/γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and oxidizes glutamate in astrocytes, and it returns released transmitter glutamate/GABA to neurons after astrocytic uptake.

Multiple Routes for Glutamate Receptor Trafficking: Surface Diffusion and Membrane Traffic Cooperate to Bring Receptors to Synapses [PDF]
Trafficking of glutamate receptors into and out of synapses is critically involved in the plasticity of excitatory synaptic transmission. Endocytosis and exocytosis of receptors have initially been thought to account alone for this trafficking. However, membrane proteins also traffic through surface lateral diffusion in the plasma membrane. We describe

Evolution: The Case of the Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Gene [PDF]
The enzyme Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (GAPDH) catalyses the decomposition of glucose. The gene that produces the GAPDH is therefore present in a wide class of organisms. We show that for this gene the average value of the fluctuations in nucleotide distribution in the codons, normalized to strand bias, provides a reasonable measure of how

Suppressive effect of Yokukansan on glutamate released from canine keratinocytes
Background: Canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) is caused by skin barrier dysfunction due to allergen exposure. Excessive glutamate release in the skin is associated with delayed skin barrier function recovery and epidermal thickening and lichenification ...
