10673068 Frank A, Rauen U, de Groot H: Protection by glycine against hypoxic injury of rat hepatocytes: inhibition of ion fluxes through nonspecific leaks. J Hepatol. 2000 Jan;32(1):58-66.


Loss of viability was determined by release of lactate dehydrogenase.

The objective of the present study was then to study, in a comparative way, the effects of both EOs on three models of convulsions (pentylenetetrazol, pilocarpine, and strychnine) and on the barbiturate-induced sleeping time on male Swiss mice.
Furthermore, the in vitro effects of the EOs were also studied on myeloperoxidase (MPO; a biomarker for inflammation) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; an index of cytotoxicity) releases from human neutrophils.

L-serine dose-dependently decreased the neurology deficit score and infarct volume, elevated the cell viability and inhibited the leakage of lactate dehydrogenase.
These effects were blocked by strychnine in both MCAO rats and cultured hippocampal neurons.

The effects of glycine and ACEA 1021 on glutamate-induced LDH release were consistent with a model of simple competitive interaction for the strychnine-insensitive NMDA receptor glycine recognition site, although nonspecific effects at the kainate receptor may be of lesser importance.

Furthermore, the mutation of Tyr202 to phenylalanine in GlyRa1 blocked the glycine-mediated cytoprotection, while the mutation of Tyr202 to leucine abolished the cytoprotection by strychnine.
