The effect of the neuronal excitantN-methyl-d-aspartate on the metabolism of mouse brain amino acids labelled from [14C]bicarbonate andl-[U-14C]aspartate

TL;DR: Heterogeneity of the systems responsible for the metabolism of the injected bicarbonate is indicated, which would appear to involve the predominant part of the glutamate and glutamine labelled from this precursor and to be unaffected by the neuronal excitation effected by NMDA.
