Hyperammonemic alterations in the metabolism of glutamate and aspartate in rat cerebellar astrocytes. Neuroscience letters, 1992, Apr-13, Volume: 138, Issue:1 Pathophysiological concentrations of ammonia, both in vivo and in vitro, suppressed the production of 14CO2 from 14C-labelled glutamate and aspartate in astrocytes isolated from the rat cerebellum. Suppression of 14CO2 production with (aminooxy)acetic acid but not with glutamic acid diethyl ester indicated that transamination plays a major role in the oxidation of glutamate carbons. Activities of the enzymes, aspartate amino-transferase, alanine aminotransferase and glutaminase were decreased while those of glutamate dehydrogenase and glutamine synthetase were enhanced in the cerebellar astrocytes during hyperammonemic states.
