p-N-Oxalyl-L-a$-diaminopropionic acid (P-L-ODAP) is thought to be the causative agent in lathyrism due to its neuroexcitatory and neurotoxic properties. We have recently reported that P-L-ODAF' is also gliotoxic at high concentrations (Bridges et al.: Brain Res 561:262, 1991). Evidence is now presen
