Glutamate regulates the viability of retinal cells in culture

In this study, we show that glutamate regulates the viability of cultured retinal cells upon transient glucose deprivation. At low concentrations (10-100 [mu]M) glutamate decreased MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] reduction to about 50% of control and decreased intr...
