title: [Phospholipid methylation and the synaptosomal uptake of mediator amino acids].
abstract: The decrease in neurotransmitter amino acid uptake was observed in rat brain synaptosomes incubated with S-adenosyl-L-methyl-methionine. The inhibitory effect of neurotransmitter as a consequence of methylation of synaptic membrane is more pronounced in stimulatory transmitter amino acids. The effect of phospholipids on amino acid uptake in rat brain synaptosomes decreases with age.
