Ischemia Induces Release of Endogenous Amino Acids from the Cerebral Cortex and Cerebellum of Developing and Adult Mice
Figure 3
Time course of basal (--) and K+-evoked (--) taurine release from cerebral cortical slices in normoxia and basal (-∆-) and K+-stimulated (-▴-) taurine release in ischemia in 7-day-old (a) and 3-month-old (b) mice. The results are means of 4–8 independent experiments with SEMs indicated. Ischemia significantly () enhanced the release in both age groups, but K+ stimulation was similarly effective only in normoxia, the effect being less pronounced () in ischemia. Note the 2.5-fold difference in the scale of the -axis in panels (a) and (b).
