Astrocytes are thought to control extracellular glutamate concentrations ([Glu] o ) in the brain, thereby protecting neurons from excitotoxic injury. We investigated the effects of metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) agonists on glutamate transport and [Glu] o in primary hippocampal astrocytic c
ATP-induced arachidonic acid (AA) release was studied in [ 3 H]AAprelabeled cultured astrocytes. To characterize the P 2 purinoceptor-mediated effect of ATP, the subtype-specific agonists 2-methylthio ATP (2-MeSATP) and UTP were compared. ATP, UTP, or 2-MeSATP induced a dose-dependent increase of [
## Abstract Several studies have shown that astrocytes release neurotransmitters into the extracellular space that may then activate receptors on nearby neurons. In the present study, the actions of adenosine 5β²βOβ(2βthiodiphosphate) (ADPbetaS)βactivated astrocyte conditioned medium (ADPbetaSβACM)
