title: Aspartate metabolism in rats during aging.
abstract: (U-14C) L-aspartate uptake and its conversion to CO2, glutamate, glutamine, and GABA was studied in the parietal cortical slices from rats of various ages. Overall aspartate metabolism was enhanced during the aging period (55 and 80 weeks of age) as compared to the growing period (5 and 10 weeks of age).
