Table 1.

Ion-dependence of [14C]L-citrulline uptake in TR-BBB cells

Substrate Uptake of [14C]L-citrulline
(% of control)
Control 100 ± 1.9
Choline Chloride 83.3 ± 5.7
LiCl 116.2 ± 5.2
Sodium gluconate 103.9 ± 6.8

[14C]L-Citrulline uptake by TR-BBB cells was performed at pH7.4 and 37 °C for 5 min in the presence or absence of sodium and/or chloride. Each value represents the mean ± S.E.M. (n = 3–4)
