The 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).
