Resumo

Abstract The expression of glutamine synthetase (GS; L‐glutamate ammonia ligase; EC 6.3.1.2) in primary cultures of chick astroglial cells and neurons grown in a chemically defined medium, with and without insulin added, was investigated. An inhibitory effect of insulin toward GS activity, and specific to chick astroglial cells, was observed. Neurons in culture were not sensitive to the hormone effect. Modulation of the activating effect of hydrocortisone onglial GS by insulin was also observed. The data suggest that insulin contributes to the regulation of the metabolism of amino acid neurotransmitters via its effect on GS.
