Changes in the functioning of the glutamatergic system in rabbit brain were studied after partial brain ischemia and reperfusion. In vitro studies were conducted relating to the release of L-[14C]glutamate from cortical brain slices, L-[14C]glutamate uptake in synaptosomes, and 45Ca uptake in synaptosomes. It was found that basal release of L-[14C]glutamate from rabbit brain cortical slices after 30 min of partial ischemia and 1 d of reperfusion was essentially without change compared to the control values. After 3 d of reperfusion, there was an increase in basal release of L-[14C]glutamate from rabbit brain cortical slices. K+ stimulated release of L-[14C]glutamate in normal Krebs-Ringer medium was essentially the same in the control group and in the experimental group after 30 min of ischemia. The K+ stimulated release of L-[14C]glutamate independent of calcium was increased to 145% after 30 min of ischemia and 1 d of reperfusion. The decreased Km value at the glutamate transporter may have contributed to this difference. Kinetic parameters of the L-[14C]glutamate uptake (Km and Vmax) in synaptosomes from rabbit brain were significantly lower after 30 min of ischemia. The authors discovered that during the reperfusion period, Vmax was almost the same as in the control group. The activity of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger in synaptosomes of rat brain was about 70% of the control values after 30 min of ischemia and 72 h of reperfusion. According to our results, increased L-[14C]glutamate release after 30 min of ischemia appears to be the result of higher intracellular calcium concentration and possibly also of a higher uptake of glutamate.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
