Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) are proton‐linked membrane carriers involved in the
transport of monocarboxylates such as lactate, pyruvate, as well as ketone bodies. They …

Classical neuroenergetics states that glucose is the exclusive energy substrate of brain cells
and its full oxidation provides all the necessary energy to support brain function. Recent data …

It is frequently argued that both amyloid beta (Aβ) and oxidative stress are involved in the
pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We show here that clonal nerve cell lines and …

For years glucose was thought to constitute the sole energy substrate for neurons; it was
believed to be directly provided to neurons via the extracellular space by the cerebral …

The omnipresence of antimicrobial triclosan (TCS) and by-products in aquatic environments
is a threat to aquatic organisms. Traditionally, the adverse effects of TCS and its by-products …

Increasing evidence suggests that glutamate activates the generation of lactate from glucose
in astrocytes; this lactate is shuttled to neurons that use it as a preferential energy source …

Loss of ovarian function has important effects on neurotransmitter production and release
with corresponding effects on cognitive performance. To date, there has been little direct …

In brain, the glutamate-glutamine and the glutamate-glutamine-GABA cycles are essential
for efficient glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission. The interactions between …

Abstract Aggregating Neural Cell Cultures (Paul Honegger, University of Lausanne,
Lausanne, Switzerland). When freshly dissociated embryonic tissues are kept under …

Dietary leucine transported into the brain parenchyma serves several functions. Most
prominent is the role of leucine as a metabolic precursor of fuel molecules, α …
