## Abstract Astrocytes sense, integrate, and respond to stimuli generated by neurons or neural injury; this response involves gap junction (GJ) communication. Neuronal vulnerability to injury increased when cocultures of astrocytes and neurons were exposed to GJ inhibitors. However, GJ uncoupling c

The role played by endothelin-1 and intercellular communication mediated by gap junctions in the regulation of glucose disposal by astrocytes has been studied in primary culture. Endothelin-1 increased glucose uptake by astrocytes as did one of its putative messenger arachidonic acid and the non-phy

Octanol rapidly closes gap junction channels but its mechanism of action is not known. Because intracellular [H+], pH,, also affects the conductance of gap junctions, we studied octanol's effects on pH, in cultured rat astrocytes, which are highly coupled cells. Octanol(1 mh4) caused an acid shift i
