## Abstract Recently it has become possible by chemical selection using sorbitol instead of glucose in the culture medium to produce pure astroglial cultures from astroglia‐rich primary cultures from mouse brain. The glycogen‐degrading enzyme glycogen phosphorylase in brain is localized in astrocyt

## Abstract Stellation is the process by which astrocytes change from epithelial‐like to process‐bearing cells. Stellation occurs following activation of either cyclic AMP‐dependent protein kinase or protein kinase C. This process occurs through tubulin‐dependent rearrangement of the cytoskeleton.
In the present report we describe the effect of glutamate on respiratory activity in primary cultures of astrocytes, derived from cerebral cortex of newborn rat. Glutamate (100 FM) caused an increased oxygen consumption. This effect could not be inhibited by antagonists to the NMDA or AMPAkainate r
Astroglial cells contribute to neuronal maintenance and function in the normal and diseased brain. Gap junctions formed predominantly by connexin43 (cx43) provide important pathways to coordinate astroglial responses. We have previously shown that fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2, which occurs ubiqu
Uptake and incorporation of 3H-valine into soluble protein were studied in normal and in physically dependent rat brain, or in astroglial primary cultures at various times after the administration of morphine at different doses. There was an increased protein synthesis in striatum and brain stem of
