## Abstract Astrocytes are considered to play an important role in iron homeostasis of the brain, yet the mechanisms involved in the uptake of iron into astrocytes remain elusive. To investigate the uptake of iron into astrocytes, we have applied ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) to rat astrocyteβrich

Guanidinoethane sulfonate (GES) markedly decreased 3H-taurine accumulated in the retina by the high-affinity uptake process. The effect of GES was dosedependent. Analysis of the kinetics of GES effect revealed that it is a competitive inhibitor. The uptake of taurine by GES was less affected in rat
We examined the route of uptake of 2-aminoethylphosphonate (NEthPo) and of phenylphosphonate (PhePo; 10 mM each) in perfused liver by 31 P-NMR. Uptake of NEthPo was concentrative. The rate of uptake was reduced to 21 AE 2% (n = 3; all percentages refer to control rates) by substituting choline for N
