This study investigated whether brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) regulates the L-glutamate/L-aspartate transporter (GLAST) and glutamine synthetase (GS) in mouse retinal Mu ¨ller cells (RMCs) under normal and hypoxic conditions. Mouse RMCs were treated with recombinant human BDNF (50, 75, 10
Whereas in the brain, the activity of the neurons is supported by several types of glial cells such as astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymal cells, the retina (evolving from the brain during ontogenesis) contains only one type of macroglial cell, the Müller (radial glial) cells, in most verteb
It is widely assumed that neurones have sufficient metabolic reserves to allow them to function independently of glial cells for extended periods. The present study investigates the length of time taken before retinal neurones no longer respond normally to light after the inhibition of glial enzymes
