Abstract Release of transmitter glutamate implies a drain of α-ketoglutarate from neurons, because glutamate, which is formed from α-ketoglutarate, is taken up by astrocytes. It is generally believed that this drain is compensated by uptake of glutamine from astrocytes, because neurons are considered incapable of de novosynthesis of tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates, which requires pyruvate carboxylation.
