Fluxes of lactate into, from, and among gap junction-coupled astrocytes and their interaction with noradrenaline

Lactate is a versatile metabolite with important roles in modulation of brain glucose utilization rate (CMRglc), diagnosis of brain-injured patients, redox- and receptor-mediated signaling, memory, and alteration of gene transcription. Neurons and astrocytes release and accumulate lactate using equi...
