Message: <blockquote data-quote="ChetRoi" data-source="post: 2759592" data-attributes="member: 468700">Thank you for that correction calling attention to the rules regarding AI supported research.[URL unfurl="true"]https://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_ylo=2024&q=glutamate+excitotoxicity+&hl=en&as_sdt=0,10#d=gs_qabs&t=1745241946699&u=%23p%3DfwJJkV7rwk8J[/URL]Here is one example of a recent paper discussing the issue I raised. I think it’s important to recognize that the supplements that I mentioned are understood to have an effect of a glutamate inhibitor—against the excitotoxicity response from high levels of the glutamate neurotransmitter by loading the cell with calcium, thereby causing, eventually, cell death and other downstream pathology.It’s also interesting to note, as I recall reading some months ago, that high glutamate levels are apparently present with a number of major neurological disorders, such as ALS, MS, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s,and others.How recent the research on supplements like the four NDMA receptor antagonists (glutamate inhibitors) is applied today in the practice of medicine I do not know because it is well outside my expertise.All I can contribute to this question in your forum is my anecdotal data. I will further mention though that when I brought this to the attention of my neurologist, she invited me to try (off label) the drug Memantine, typically prescribed for moderate to advanced Alzheimer’s patients. It is a known glutamate inhibitor.Let me further add that I really have no authoritative information on testing for high levels of the neurotransmitter glutamate. I would suggest anyone warning more information on this topic should consult their neurologist.</blockquote>
