Abstract Effects of the sulphur‐containing acidic amino acids (SAAs) cysteic acid (CA),
homocysteic acid (HCA), cysteine sulphinic acid (CSA), homocysteine sulphinic acid …

The rat hippocampal slice preparation and its electrophysiology were used to assess the
toxicity of two sulfur-containing amino acids, l-cysteate (CA) and l-cysteine (CYS). Both …

A dose‐dependent, saturable, and calcium‐dependent release of γ‐[3H] aminobutyrate
([3H] GABA) from cortical neurones and D‐[3H] aspartate from cerebellar granule cells …

In addition to its role as the major excitatory neurotransmitter, L-glutamate may have a toxic
effect on neurons (Olney et al. 1971). This neurotoxic action depends on a multiplicity of …

Treatment of cerebral cortical slices with 5mM ammonium acetate (ammonia) elevated the
glutamine (Gln) content and increased cell volume in the slices, in agreement with the …

The effect of extracellular pH (pHo) on the excitotoxicity of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) in
cultured rat cortical cells was studied. Treatment of cells with 500 μM NMDA for 15 min at …

The stimulatory effect of excitatory sulphur-containing amino acids on inositol phosphate
formation was investigated in primary cultures of cerebellar granule cells. l-Cysteine …

A continuous superfusion system was used to study the release of [3 H] d-aspartate from
primary cultures of mouse cerebellar granule cells. A number of neuroactive acidic sulphur …

Abstract L-Glutamate, N-methyl-D-aspartate, quisqualate and potassium chloride enhanced
Ca 2+ accumulation by rat cortical slices as determined using 45 Ca 2+ uptake and Ca 2+ …

The sulphur-containing acidic amino acids (SAAs) display neuroexcitatory actions similar to
those of l-glutamate and are widely regarded as bona fide transmitter candidates. In this …
