Enantiomers of 2-methylglutamate and 2-methylglutamine selectively impact mouse brain metabolism and behavior

Abstract Imbalance of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission is implicated in a wide range of psychiatric and neurologic disorders. Here we tested the hypothesis that insertion of a methyl group on the stereogenic alpha carbon of l-Glu or l-Gln would impact the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) shunt...
