## Abstract Respiration was measured polarographically in astrocytes from dissociated neonatal rat cerebra grown in primary culture. Cells grown in a modified Eagle's minimal essential medium containing 20% fetal calf serum for 14 to 21 days respired at a rate of 34.23 n at. equiv 0 mg protein^−1^

## Abstract Elevated levels of ammonia in blood and brain result in derangement of cerebral function. Recently, lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress have been implicated in ammonia neurotoxicity. Because ammonia is primarily detoxified in astrocytes, we postulated that pathophysiological concent
## Abstract Ammonia is a toxin that has been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE), and the astrocyte appears to be the principal target of ammonia toxicity. The specific neurochemical mechanisms underlying HE, however, remain elusive. One of the suggested mechanism
A cDNA clone encoding a stimulatory G-protein a subunit (Gsa) was isolated from a cDNA library derived from cultured rat astrocytes. The nucleotide sequence of the cDNA indicated that it corresponds to the Gsa-2 form of Gsa mRNA, one of four Gsa mRNAs known to be derived by alternative splicing from
