Pathologically high levels of extracellular glutamate can cause excitotoxicity, when postsynaptic receptors such as NMDA and AMPA are overactivated, allowing high levels of calcium influx that trigger ...

Monosodium glutamate, or MSG — a food additive that is often found in Asian cuisine — has had something of a negative reputation over the last 60 years. Some food experts insist that's unfair.

The researchers for the new study also noted that riboflavin is known to improve "oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and glutamate excitotoxicity," all of which are ...

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a common flavor additive that has a reputation for being harmful to your health. While some people may be more sensitive to MSG than others, experts generally ...

the role played by glutamate and GABA. Current evidence suggests that blood oxygen level-dependant effects of antipsychotic drugs reflect specific, regional effects as opposed to nonspecific ...
