Metabolic fate of [8-14C]adenosine was studied in primary cultures of either astrocytes or neurons from the mouse brain. In astrocytes the main metabolic route was the formation of nucleotides. Thus, synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) amounted to about 0.2 nmol X min-1 X mg-1 protein. The dea

Uptake and oxidative metabolism of [I4C]malate as well as its incorporation into aspartate, glutamate, glutamine, and GABA were studied in cultured cerebral cortical neurons (GABAergic), cerebellar granule neurons (glutamatergic), and cerebral cortical astrocytes. All cell types exhibited high affin
The uptake, release, and metabolism of alanine were studied in primary cultures of cerebral cortical neurons or astrocytes and cerebellar granule neurons. All three cell types exhibited a saturable, sodiumdependent uptake of alanine with K, values (pM) of 256 f 30,463 f 39, and 292 f 39, respectivel
