Abstrakt: Shows that the carrier glutamate generates an alkalinization outside and an acidification inside glial cells, and transports anions out of the cells, suggesting that there is a carrier cycle in which two Na+ accompany each glutamate anion into the cell, while one K+ and one OH- are transported out. Predictions of this stoichiometry; Glutamate uptake; Details.
