GLUTAMINE—A MAJOR SUBSTRATE FOR NERVE ENDINGS
Abstract
Abstract— Mammalian cortical synaptosomes incubated in the presence of glucose (2.5 MM) plus glutamine (0.5 mM) showed a 30% increase in transmitter amino acid content over controls with glucose alone and a doubling of glutamate release induced by Veratrine or high K+. Double‐label experiments, i.e. [U‐14 C]glucose with [3 H]glutamine, and single‐label experiments, i.e. [U‐14 C]glucose or [U‐14 C]‐glutamine showed that stimulus‐released glutamate was derived principally (80%) from glutamine. Released glutamine‐derived glutamate was of higher (x 2) specific radioactivity than its tissue equivalent. Glutamine alone (0.5–0.75 mM) was much less effective than equivalent amounts of glucose alone, in stimulating respiration and maintaining tissue K+ levels.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
