Aerobic glycolysis occurs during brain activation and is characterized by preferential up‐
regulation of glucose utilization compared with oxygen consumption even though oxygen …

Over the past several decades a large amount of data have established that glial cells, the
main cell population in the brain, dynamically interact with neurons and thus impact their …

Over the last two decades, it has been established that glucose metabolic fluxes in neurons
and astrocytes are proportional to the rates of the glutamate/GABA-glutamine …

Seizures often originate in epileptogenic foci. Between seizures (interictally), these foci and
some of the surrounding tissue often show low signals with 18fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) …

Astrocytes are a heterogeneous population of glial cells in the brain, which adapt their
properties to the requirements of the local environment. Two major groups of astrocytes are …

Astroglial aerobic glycolysis, a process during which d-glucose is converted to l-lactate, a
brain fuel and signal, is regulated by the plasmalemmal receptors, including adrenergic …

The use of the carbohydrate glucose as an energetic source is essential for an adequate
function of the human body. The complex regulation of this molecule involves the …

Astrocytic energetics of excitatory neurotransmission is controversial due to discrepant
findings in different experimental systems in vitro and in vivo. The energy requirements of …

Nutritional ketosis, induced via either the classical ketogenic diet or the use of emulsified
medium-chain triglycerides, is an established treatment for pharmaceutical resistant …

The importance of astrocytic K+ uptake for extracellular K+([K+] e) clearance during
neuronal stimulation or pathophysiological conditions is increasingly acknowledged. It …
