Astrocytes protect neurons and oligodendrocytes by buffering ions, neurotransmitters, and providing metabolic support. However, astrocytes are also vulnerable to oxidative stress, which may affect their protective and supportive functions. This paper examines the influence of calcium and iron on ast

An antiserum raised against the peptide representing the partial sequence 196-222 of mouse liver argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS) was used to detect and localize the enzyme in cells of neural primary cultures. No ASS immunoreactivity was detected by Western blotting in homogenates of mouse pure as
