Figure 4From: Astrocyte - neuron lactate shuttle may boost more ATP supply to the neuron under hypoxic conditions - in silico study supported by in vitro expression dataThe kinetics of glucose utilization, lactate production and ATP synthesis in neurons and astrocytes according to the classical model under normoxic condition (Initial glucose concentration in the blood = 4.56 mM, oxygen concentration = 7 mM) (a) Glucose consumption in neurons (Nc) and astrocytes (Ac); (b) Lactate kinetics in neurons (Nc), astrocytes (Ac) and the extracellular matrix (e); (c) Mitochondrial ATP production in neurons (Nm) and astrocytes (Am); (d) Cytoplasmic ATP production in neurons (Nc) and astrocytes (Ac).Back to article page
