The present work studied the transport of L-DOPA in cultured rat and mouse astrocytes. Results indicated that the uptake of L-[14C]DOPA in both rat and mouse astrocytes was Na+ independent and temperature sensitive. It was mediated by a carrier-mediated mechanism with K, values of 36 and 60.3 pM, an
Cultured astrocytes from neonatal rat cerebral hemispheres are depolarized by the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. In this study we have used selective agonists of different neuronal glutamate receptor subtypes, namely, the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), kainate, and quisqualate type, to charact
## Abstract In this study, we examined the transport mechanisms for guanine and guanosine in rat neurons and astrocytes, and compared their characteristics. In the both types of cell, the uptake of [^3^H]guanine and [^3^H]guanosine was timeβ, temperatureβ, and concentrationβdependent, and Na^+^βind
