OMNIVORES GOING ASTRAY: A REVIEW AND NEW SYNTHESIS OF ABNORMAL BEHAVIOR IN PIGS AND LAYING HENS


Dexamethasone enhances glutamine synthetase activity and reduces N-methyl-D-aspartate neurotoxicity in mixed cultures of neurons and astrocytes

Astrocytes are claimed to protect neurons against excitotoxicity by clearing glutamate from the extracellular space and rapidly converting it into glutamine.Glutamine, is then released into the extracellular medium, taken up by neurons and rs808br transformed back into glutamate which is then stored into synaptic vesicles.Glutamine synthetase (GS),
