Nigral depletion of the main brain antioxidant GSH is the earliest biochemical event involved in Parkinson's disease pathogenesis. Its causes are completely unknown but increasing number of evidence suggests that glutamate transporters [excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs)] are the main
Strains of Escherichia coli K-12, O157:H7, and Shigella flexneri grown to stationary phase in complex unbuffered media can survive for several hours at pH 2.5. This stationary-phase acid resistance phenotype is dependent upon the alternate sigma factor sigmas and the
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are painful conditions that are more prevalent in women than men. This study tested the hypothesis that acute inflammation of the TMJ region evoked sex-related changes in amino acid transmitter concentrations at the trigeminal subnucleus/upper cervical

In order to determine the conformational requirements for binding of L-glutamate to the proteins involved in the process of neurotransmission, rigid analogues containing an embedded glutamate moiety have been prepared. These "conformer mimics", the pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylates 4, 7, 11, and 14

In insects, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate mediate fast inhibitory neurotransmission through ligand-gated chloride channel receptors. Both GABA and glutamate have been identified in the olfactory circuit of the honeybee. Here we investigated the role of inhibitory transmission mediated by
