Deciphering the astrocyte-neuron metabolic cooperation in vivo

Manuel Raphael Zenger

Brain energy consumption is high and a very tightly regulated energy metabolism ensures correct performance. Neurons, the cells responsible for transmitting information via synapses, interact very closely with star shaped glial cells called astrocytes. Ast ...

Disrupting astrocyte-neuron lactate transfer persistently reduces conditioned responses to cocaine

Pierre Magistretti

A central problem in the treatment of drug addiction is the high risk of relapse often precipitated by drug-associated cues. The transfer of glycogen-derived lactate from astrocytes to neurons is required for long-term memory. Whereas blockade of drug memo ...

Direct noninvasive estimation of myocardial tricarboxylic acid cycle flux in vivo using hyperpolarized 13C magnetic resonance

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Hongxia Lei, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Tian Cheng

BACKGROUND: The heart relies on continuous energy production and imbalances herein impair cardiac function directly. The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is the primary means of energy generation in the healthy myocardium, but direct noninvasive quantificati ...

Glycogen metabolism and the homeostatic regulation of sleep

Pierre Magistretti, Igor Allaman, Sophie Burlet Godinot

In 1995 Benington and Heller formulated an energy hypothesis of sleep centered on a key role of glycogen. It was postulated that a major function of sleep is to replenish glycogen stores in the brain that have been depleted during wakefulness which is asso ...

GLUT1 and GLUT3 in non-small cell lung cancer

Mark Jonathan Masin

While altered metabolism is a well-established tumor cell trait, the specifics of metabolic rewiring during cancer development and progression are yet to be fully understood. The Warburg effect, or aerobic glycolysis, has been described in a wide array of ...

Hyperpolarized 13C lactate as a substrate for in vivo metabolic studies in skeletal muscle

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Yuhei Takado

Resting skeletal muscle has a preference for the oxidation of lipids compared to carbohydrates and a shift towards carbohydrate oxidation is observed with increasing exercise. Lactate is not only an end product in skeletal muscle but also an important meta ...

Hepatic glucose sensing and integrative pathways in the liver

Kristina Schoonjans, Maaike Hélène Oosterveer

The hepatic glucose-sensing system is a functional network of enzymes and transcription factors that is critical for the maintenance of energy homeostasis and systemic glycemia. Here we review the recent literature on its components and metabolic actions. ...

Elucidating the role of neuron-astrocyte metabolic coupling in learning and memory : molecular, genetic and behavioural approaches

Monika Tadi

The brain has very high energy demands that are mainly met by the circulating blood glucose to ensure its proper functioning. Thus, it is not surprising that though the human brain weighs only 2- 3% of the body weight, it consumes approximately 25% of tota ...

In vivo metabolic studies in skeletal and cardiac muscle using ¹³C magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen

Cardiac and skeletal muscle function relies on a continuous energy production via fatty acid metabolism and mitochondrial oxidation of pyruvate, with a fine balance between substrate delivery and utilization. Changes in metabolism are increasingly being im ...
