Role of the Perineural Sheath of Peripheral Nerve on Fluxes of L-Glutamate in vitro

Nature volume 227, pages 854–855 (1970)Cite this article

Abstract

THE possibility that L-glutamate might be the excitatory transmitter released by the central terminals of sensory afferent fibres has prompted some studies on its release in peripheral nerves1,2, but there have been no systematic studies of the resting fluxes of glutamate and it is not known whether the perineural sheath is a barrier to the movements of this substance.
