In order to determine the effects of large variations in plasma amino acid concentrations upon human erythrocyte amino acid content, the plasma concentration of blood samples was enhanced (x 3.8) by adding amino acids or decreased (x 0.49) by plasma dilution. Before and after incubation (30 s at 37

## Abstract The astrocytic endothelin (ET) receptors, ET~A~ and ET~B~, modulate calcium signaling and the astrocytic gap junctional network. The nonselective ET receptor ligand ETβ1 inhibits gap junction permeability, an effect that can be blocked by tolbutamide. This mechanism may play a role in p
Rat cerebral astrocytes from confluent primary cultures were grown for two weeks in medium made hyperosmotic with additional NaCI. At the time the cells were harvested (four weeks in culture), the medium osmolality of experimental cultures was approximately 600 mOsm. Amino acid, protein, and potassi
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a potent lipid mediator that is likely involved in diverse functions in the brain. Several recent studies have suggested that astrocytes are important target cells for LPA. In the present study, we have identified the signal transduction pathways activated following LP
The effect of tryptophan on the biosynthesis of proline has been investigated. Cells of Daucus carota grown in B5 medium supplemented with 5Γ10(-4)M tryptophan acquired the ability to grow in the presence of inhibitory concentrations of azetidine-2-carboxylic acid, an analog of proline. When trp was
