  1. Tau antigenic changes induced by glutamate in rat primary culture model: a biochemical approach

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuroscience letters 1992-06-01 Drug development

    Primary neuronal cultures were treated with glutamate to induce an increase of Tau immunoreactivity similar to that observed in Alzheimer's disease.

  2. Central mammalian neurons normally resistant to glutamate toxicity are made sensitive by elevated extracellular Ca2+: toxicity is blocked by the N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonist MK-801

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 1988-09-01 Brain scans and imaging

    It is widely held that a glutamate-like toxin that resembles N-methyl-D-aspartate may be responsible for the death of nerve cells seen after severe neurological insults including stroke, seizures, and degenerative disorders, such as Huntington disease, Alzheimer disease, and the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-parkinsonism-dementia complex found on Guam.
