Glutaminase plays a critical role in the generation of glutamate, a key excitatory neurotransmitter in the CNS. Excess glutamate release from activated macrophages and microglia correlates with upregulated glutaminase suggesting a pathogenic role for glutaminase. Both glutaminase siRNA and small

The rapid growth of cancer cells is permitted by metabolic changes, notably increased aerobic glycolysis and increased glutaminolysis. Aerobic glycolysis is also evident in the hypertrophying myocytes in right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), particularly in association with pulmonary arterial

Glutamate released by activated microglia induces excito-neurotoxicity and may contribute to neurodegeneration in numerous neurological diseases including ischemia, inflammation, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative diseases. We observed that the gap junction blocker carbenoxolone (CBX) or the
