The question whether the benzodiazepine receptor site in astrocytes or in neurons might be identical to the adenosine uptake site was studied by determining pharmacological profiles, inhibition types, and the effects of benzodiazepine antagonists in primary cultures of either astrocytes or neurons.
Uptake and oxidative metabolism of [I4C]malate as well as its incorporation into aspartate, glutamate, glutamine, and GABA were studied in cultured cerebral cortical neurons (GABAergic), cerebellar granule neurons (glutamatergic), and cerebral cortical astrocytes. All cell types exhibited high affin
