In several brain pathologies, the level of brain L-lactate increases. The stimulation of L-lactate production is a detrimental factor in promoting neuronal cell damage and astrocytic dysfunction. Astrocytic glutathione metabolism has an important role to protect brain cells against oxidative stress.

The system x 2 C (Sx 2 C ) transporter functions to mediate the exchange of extracellular cystine (L-Cys 2 ) and intracellular glutamate (L-Glu). Internalized L-Cys 2 serves as a ratelimiting precursor for the biosynthesis of glutathione (GSH), while the externalized L-Glu can contribute to either e

## Abstract The effect of γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) on glutamate metabolism was studied by ^13^C‐nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Cerebral cortical astrocytes were incubated with 0.5 mM [U‐^13^C]glutamate and 5 mM glucose in the presence or absence of 0.2 mM GABA for 2 hr. ^13^C‐Labe
