title: Glutamate receptor-mediated inhibition of L-glutamate efflux from cerebral cortex in vitro.
abstract: We tested whether glutamate receptor ligands affect oxygen-glucose deprivation-evoked L-glutamate efflux from adult rat cerebrocortical prisms. The uncompetitive NMDA antagonist AR-R15896AR inhibited efflux (IC50 34 microM, 87% maximal inhibition). AMPA/kainate receptor blockade (NBQX, 100 microM) or Group II metabotropic glutamate receptor activation (DCG-IV, 10 microM) inhibited efflux (41%, 67% respectively) but Group I mGluR blockade (CPCCOEt/MPEP, 10 microM) was without effect. These data support a modulatory effect of glutamate receptors on L-glutamate efflux.
