Pyruvate contents in ACM, NCM, and CSF
| Pyruvate concentrations (μm) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Mean ± SEM | Range | |
| ACM (n = 6) | 254 ± 15 | 184–297 |
| NCM (n = 6) | 45.6 ± 4.4 | 36.9–62.3 |
| CSF (n = 6) | 131 ± 9 | 98.9–145 |
ACM was prepared from confluent astrocyte cultures, and NCM was from 7 DIV neuronal cultures in serum-free MEM. The conditioned media were collected 24 hr later for pyruvate assay. CSF was obtained from 3-month-old male rats.
