Swelling of primary astrocyte cultures by exposing them to hypotonic media caused release
of label after the cells had been allowed to accumulate 3H-L-glutamate, 3H-D-aspartate, or …

Exogenous acetate is preferentially metabolized by astrocytes in the CNS, but the biochemical
basis for this selectivity is unknown. We observed that rat cortical astrocytes produce 14 …

… Waniewski R. A. and Martin DL Exogenous glutamate is metabolized to glutamine and …
The uptake of glutamate was examined as previously described by Waniewski and Martin (1984). …

… Waniewski R. A. Physiological levels of ammonia regulate glutamine synthesis from … A
comparison of the present results to our earlier findings with 9 pM glutamate (Waniewski and …

… inhibition is selective for glia over neurons (Waniewski and Martin, 1983). Ethacrynic acid
and DIDS had no such glia-specific action (RA Waniewski and DL Martin, unpublished data). …

… The data for acetate were taken from Waniewski and Martin (6). ND, not detectable; NS, not
saturable; TR, too rapid to … The data for acetate were taken from Waniewski and Martin (6). …

A method is described for the analysis of the neuroexcitatory amino acids, aspartate and
glutamate, in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by reverse-phase, high-performance liquid …

… However, SITS also inhibits glial high affinity, Na'-dependent uptake of L-glutamic acid (Waniewski
and Martin, 1983), and, as we have shown in this chapter, L-644,711 also has this …

The endogenous γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content of the rat pineal gland and superior
cervical ganglion (SCG) was measured by high pressure liquid chromatography. It was found …

The post-mortem stability of the GABA synthesizing enzyme glutamate decarboxylase (GAD)
was studied by using SDS–PAGE and quantitative immunoblotting to measure the rates of …
