It is an error, if you beleave that you get a good drive by g. Also the concentration can get enhanced very small. It is the industry for pharmacy, who will tell us such stories. --[[User:Fackel|Fackel]] 21:02, 30 May 2006 (UTC) |

this article states: "Glutamate easily passes the blood brain barrier:" while the MSG article states "glutamate has a low penetration level in the central nervous system". After reading the linked articles, it seems that it does indeed easily pass through the BBB, but the amount that passes through is regulated. It might be worth noting lest any confusion arise. |

If high levels of glutamic acid are unhealthy, what would be considered a high level?
"Glutamic acid" and "glutamate" are often used interchangeably but, technically, glutamate is the anionic form of glutamic acid. This article doesn't recognize that. RJII 17:01, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
Conversion in the Brain
In the "Pharmacology" section, the following statement is very confusing: "For being so important in the brain functions it is therefore of no surprise that free Glu cannot cross BBB in appreciable quantities; instead it is converted into Glu."
Glu is converted into Glu? I assume that something else was intended.. could somebody clarify? -- Foogod
Glutamine can changed by the enzyme glutamase in glutamatic acid and vice verse. It can also metabolize in y-butter.acid. All this are impotant neurotransmitters in the brain.--Fackel 21:02, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Issue with Glutamate Structure
Who the hell put up that 3d stereo stick diagram of glutamate? It's completely off. It looks like there's freaking 2 carbons between C1 and C-alpha!!!
- I put it there. It's correct. What structure do you think it has? --Ben 13:05, 26 March 2006 (UTC).
- There's freaking 2 carbons between C5 and C-alpha, as it should be. --Ed (Edgar181) 13:37, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
CTC or CAC DELETION
What would happen if the the codon were to be deleted all together? What effect would this have on a persons blood cells? could they still carry oxygen? What shape would the cells be?
I need answers, thanks in advance,
Adam
Needs Reference
This article could use at least one reference stating that glutamate does not cross the blood-brain barrier-- if that is in fact the case. That section in general could be more literate; I'd change it myself, but I'd like to know that what I'm proofreading is true first. Well-worded bad info is less likely to attract editorial attention, after all... Kajerm

seeming contradiction with MSG article
this article states: "Glutamate easily passes the blood brain barrier:" while the MSG article states "glutamate has a low penetration level in the central nervous system". After reading the linked articles, it seems that it does indeed easily pass through the BBB, but the amount that passes through is regulated. It might be worth noting lest any confusion arise.
