Estrogen and progesterone attenuate glutamate neurotoxicity via regulation of EAAT3 and GLT-1 in a rat model of ischemic stroke
Objective(s): Glutamate is the most widespread neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and has several functions as a neuromodulator in the brain although in pathological conditions like ischemia it is excessively released causing cell death. Under physiological conditions, glutamate is rapidly scavenged from the synaptic cleft by excitatory amino-acid transport...
متن کاملEvidence for a third sodium-binding site in glutamate transporters suggests an ion/substrate coupling model.
Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) remove glutamate from synapses. They maintain an efficient synaptic transmission and prevent glutamate from reaching neurotoxic levels. Glutamate transporters couple the uptake of one glutamate to the cotransport of three sodium ions and one proton and the countertransport of one potassium ion. The molecular mechanism for this coupled uptake of glutama...
متن کاملNew views of glutamate transporter structure and function: advances and challenges.
Neuronal and glial glutamate transporters limit the action of excitatory amino acids after their release during synaptic transmission. Recent structural and functional investigations have revealed much about the transport and conducting mechanisms of members of the sodium-coupled symporter family responsible for glutamate clearance in the nervous system. In this review we summarize emerging vie...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulations of the Mammalian Glutamate Transporter EAAT3
Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) are membrane proteins that enable sodium-coupled uptake of glutamate and other amino acids into neurons. Crystal structures of the archaeal homolog GltPh have been recently determined both in the inward- and outward-facing conformations. Here we construct homology models for the mammalian glutamate transporter EAAT3 in both conformations and perform mo...
متن کاملAdministration of sodium hydrosulfide reduces remote organ injury by an anti-oxidant mechanism in a rat model of varicocele
Objective(s): Infertility in varicocele may have an adverse outcome on the future life of an infertile male. This study was designed to investigate whether varicocele affects remote organs, including the kidney, liver, and brain. We have also evaluated the protective effects of NaHS administration on the structure and function of these organs.Material...
