Cellular radiolabeled Asp accumulation by single cells in the cerebral ganglion. (a) Peptidergic F-cluster cells show ~75% of the total Asp accumulated is in the D-form when incubated in L-Asp or D-Asp (n = 12, p<0.01). (b) Larger B-cluster neurons show ~62% of the total Asp taken up is in the D-form (n = 9, p<0.01). Investigating the enantiomer uptake and accumulation preference of cerebral ganglion F-cluster cells incubated in mixtures of (c) 90 μM [3H]-D-Asp and [14C]-L-Asp (n = 4, p <0.01) or (d) 90 μM [14C]-D-Asp and [3H]-L-Asp (n = 5, p <0.01) produced similar results. In both cases the F-cluster cells show an ~68% total preference for D-Asp. Error bars represent standard deviations.
