A report, 'Glutamate metabolic pathways and retinal function,' is newly published data in Journal of Neurochemistry. "Glutamate is a major neurotransmitter in the CNS but is also a key metabolite intimately coupled to amino acid production/degradation. We consider the effect of inhibition of two key glutamate metabolic enzymes: glutamine synthetase (GS) and aspartate aminotransferase on retinal function assessed using the electroretinogram to consider photoreceptoral (a-wave) and post-receptoral (b-wave) amplitudes," researchers in Parkville, Australia report (see also Life Sciences).
"Quantitative immunocytochemistry was used to assess amino acid levels within ...
