Objective: To develop a simple and reliable method for quantitating plasma glutamate
concentration and apply this method to monitor systemic glutamate levels during coronary …

In this randomized trial, we investigated the effect of glutamate/aspartate-containing
cardioplegia on neurocognitive function in 70 patients undergoing first-time elective …

Background Abnormally high concentrations of glutamate in brain fluids have been shown to
be neurotoxic and correlate with a poor neurological outcome following traumatic brain …

Glutamate is an important substrate for the intermediary metabolism of the heart, particularly
in association with ischemia. Early after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) myocardial …

Background Glutamate is reported to enhance the recovery of oxidative metabolism and
contractile function of the heart after ischemia. The effect appears to be blunted in diabetic …

OBJECTIVE: Glutamate has been claimed to protect the heart from ischemia and to facilitate
metabolic and hemodynamic recovery after ischemia. The GLUTAmate for Metabolic …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Concerns have been raised about potential neurological injury
related to exogenous glutamate. In cardiac surgery glutamate has been administered as a …

Background Glutamate, a key intermediate in myocardial metabolism, may enhance
myocardial recovery after ischemia and possibly reduce the incidence and severity of …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Glutamate plays an important role for myocardial metabolism in
association with ischaemia. Patients with coronary artery disease characteristically …

All patients undergoing neurological surgery are at risk for serious complications. Ischaemic
damage presenting with hemiparesis or speech difficulties occurs in up to 6% of patients …
