“These results suggest that, while the neuronal production of NAA and NAAG are biochemically related, significant differences exist in the regulatory mechanisms controlling their biosynthesis.”
“These results are consistent with the glutamate–glutamine cycle greatly favoring uptake of glutamine into neurons and glutamate by glia and suggest that NAA availability may be rate‐limiting in the synthesis of NAAG by glia under some conditions.”
