Glutamate is an excitatory receptor agonist in both neurones and glial cells, and, in addition, glutamate is also a substrate for glutamate transporter in glial cells. We have measured intracellular and extracellular pH changes induced by bath application of glutamate, its receptor agonist kainate,

Glutamate uptake into glial cells via the excitatory amino acid transporter (EAAT) is accompanied by an influx of sodium and acid equivalents into the cells. The sodium-bicarbonate cotransport (NBC) in glial cells moves sodium and base equivalents across the glial membrane in both directions. We hav
## Abstract The clearance of synaptically released glutamate is one of the pivotal functions of glial cells. We have studied the role of 5βhydroxytryptamine (5βHT, 30 ΞΌM), a neurotransmitter and neurohormone in the leech central nervous system with a versatile action spectrum, on the efficacy of gl
The effect of cholinergic agonists and antagonists on the intracellular free Ca2+ Concentration ([Ca2+li) of leech neuropile glial cells was investigated by use of iontophoretically injected fura-2. In neuropile glial cells, cholinergic agonists induced a marked increase in [Ca2+li that was inhibite
Glial cells have been shown to respond to neuronal activity with changes in the membrane potential and the intracellular Ca 2Ο© concentration. In order to get closer to glial structures associated with neuronal synapses, we have now looked at Ca 2Ο© signalling in the glial processes (''glial dendrites
