Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Brain [2-(13)C]gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) signal derived from the glia-specific substrate [2-(13)C]acetate reflects the extent of the GABA-glutamine neurotransmitter cycling between GABAergic neurons and glial cells. We report, for the first time, in vivo quantification of the GABA-glutamine cycling flux. The GABA-glutamine cycling flux rate was determined to be 1.8+/-0.4 micromol/(gh) (mean+/-S.D., n=6, approximately 6% of total tricarboxylic acid cycle rate) in the neocortex of vigabatrin-treated rats. The relatively small magnitude of glial contribution to the clearance of extracellular GABA measured in this study provided in vivo evidence to support the concept of a significant neuronal reuptake of GABA, which short-circuits the GABA-glutamine cycling pathway for repletion of released neurotransmitter GABA.
