Excitatory amino-acid transporters (EAATs) terminate glutamate's actions and thus maintain proper neuronal function. These proteins are expressed in vast quantities by glia, but are also present ...
Pathologically high levels of extracellular glutamate can cause excitotoxicity, when postsynaptic receptors such as NMDA and AMPA are overactivated, allowing high levels of calcium influx that trigger ...
The antipsychotic drug haloperidol is often used in emergency care to treat psychoses induced by methamphetamine, but a recently published animal study by Hatzipetros et al. warns that this ...
Glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) is a glutamate scavenger that has been proposed to be used to counteract the excitotoxicity secondary to stroke or traumatic brain injury, among other ...
The researchers for the new study also noted that riboflavin is known to improve "oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and glutamate excitotoxicity," all of which are ...
the role played by glutamate and GABA. Current evidence suggests that blood oxygen level-dependant effects of antipsychotic drugs reflect specific, regional effects as opposed to nonspecific ...
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a common flavor additive that has a reputation for being harmful to your health. While some people may be more sensitive to MSG than others, experts generally ...
The Sanz-Clemente Lab is devoted to identifying molecular mechanisms regulating glutamate receptor subsynaptic location and utilizing this ... Modulation of synaptic NMDAR content as a novel ...
Munch on a packet of chips, slurp up a bowl of noodles or tuck into a salami sandwich, and there's a good chance you're also eating monosodium glutamate. Over the decades, monosodium glutamate — ...
