Induction of glutamine synthetase by 8-bromo cyclic AMP in primary cultures of rat brain astrocytes.

abstract：:The microdialysis technique was used to study the effect of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity on taurine release. Taurine release was characterized in rat striatum that was excitotoxically lesioned compared to normal conditions. The basal taurine level of the dialysate decreased during quinolinate (QUIN) lesion in ...
