Figure 7From: 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 ANLSH under hypoxic condition (Initial glucose concentration in the blood = 4.56 mM, oxygen concentration = 0.35 mM); (a) Glucose consumption in astrocytes (Ac); (b) Lactate kinetics in neurons (Nc), astrocytes (Ac) and the extracellular matrix (e); (c) ATP production in astrocyte cytoplasm (Ac); (d) Mitochondrial ATP production in neurons (Nm); inset shows a longer simulation (500 min).Back to article page
