title: [Accumulation of glutamic acid and glycine in human cerebral tumors in vitro].
abstract: Preliminary results are given on transport of glycine and L-glutamate into human cerebral tissue, normal and tumoral. In comparison with normal tissue, glycine transport is diminished in meningioma and oligodendroblastoma, unaffected in neurinoma, sharply increased in medulloblastoma. Glutamic acid transport is lowered in neurinoma and oligodendroblastoma; increased in medulloblastoma. Such preliminary observations are briefly discussed.
