Figure 5.

Time course of uptake of L-[¹⁴C]glutamate by control synaptosomes (solid line); synaptosomes in presence of dextran-coated magnetite nanoparticles (MNP) (2 mg/mL) (dashed line). Uptake was initiated by the addition of L-[¹⁴C]glutamate to synaptosomes, after incubation the samples were rapidly sedimented and radioactivity was determined as described in Materials and methods. Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean of three independent experiments.
