[HTML][HTML] CrossTalk opposing view: lack of evidence supporting an astrocyte‐to‐neuron lactate shuttle coupling neuronal activity to glucose utilisation in the brain

LK Bak, AB Walls - The Journal of physiology, 2018 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
In 1993, Dringen et al. concluded that 'glycogen in astrocytes can be considered as a store
for lactate rather than for glucose', and suggested that lactate derived from the breakdown of …
