Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) can modulate synaptic transmission, and there is evidence that phosphoinositide (PI)-linked mGluRs may be involved in sensory-dependent plasticity during the development of cat visual cortex. Consequently, we asked the questions: Where are the PI-linked mGlu

We previously found that 82% of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)positive hippocampal astrocytes acutely isolated from P1-10 rats responded to glutamate (Glu) with transient intracellular calcium increases via activation of a Group I metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR). Fewer cells responde
Altered glial function that leads to oxidative stress and excitotoxicity may contribute to the initiation or progression of neuronal death in neurodegenerative diseases. We report the pivotal role of astroglial Group II and III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) against neurotoxicity. Activati
## Abstract We demonstrate the presence and functional properties of Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) expressed in chromaffin cells. Immunocytochemical techniques revealed that two mGluR subtypes (mGluR1Ξ± and mGluR5) are expressed in chromaffin cells, located in both the cytoplasmi
