It can occur because the body releases too much of it or glutamate receptors do not function properly. It is associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s ...

Problems with how the neurotransmitter glutamate functions in the brain have been linked to a wide variety of disorders, including schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, substance abuse, and traumatic brain ...

However, given that glutamate functions as a peripheral inflammatory mediator, it is possible that mGluRs also modulate primary afferent activity in the periphery. mGluR5 mRNA expression has been ...

The dominant neurochemicals involved in encoding sensory information are the amino acid neurotransmitters, glutamate, gamma-aminobutyrate (GABA) and glycine, which mediate fast point-to-point synaptic ...

In neonatal mammals, arginine is synthesized in the enterocyte, with either proline or glutamate as the dietary precursor. We have shown several times in piglets that proline is the only precursor ...
