Perinatal changes in amino acid metabolism of rat brain, especially alanine and glutamic acid.

Abstract:

:The changes in both the levels of some free amino acids and their metabolism in the rat brain during the first 24 hr of postnatal life were studied. The content of glutamic acid decreased for the first 2 hr; it remained at the lowest level for the next 4 hr, when it began to increase. The content of alanine decreased for the first 6 hr and approached the adult level. Oxygen consumption, glucose oxidation, and pyruvate formation in the cerebral slices of the 24-hr-old rats were as much as 150% of that of the 19-day-old fetus. The distribution profile of radioactivity incorporated into the cerebral amino acids from the subarachnoid-injected [U-14C]glucose was also changed. In the 2- and 6-hr-old rats, 50% of the total radioactivity recovered in the free amino acids was in alanine. Its rate decreased to 30% in the 24-hr-old and was 2% in the adult, while the radioactivity incorporated into glutamic acid increased. Alanine aminotransferase activity started to increase at birth and had the highest level at 24 hr after birth. It then decreased and finally reached the same level as shown at birth. However, aspartate aminotransferase increased during the first 6 hr after birth and did not change until the end of the first day of life.
