Accumulation of taurine (Tau), glutamate (Glu) and glutamine (Gln) was measured in vivo in microdialysates of the rat striatum following a direct application to the microdialysis tube of 60 mM ammonium chloride which renders the final ammonia concentration in the extracellular space to similar to5 mM. The following compounds were coadministered with ammonia to distinguish between the different mechanisms that may underlie the accumulation of amino acids: ion transport inhibitors, diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate (DIDS) and furosemide, a Glu transport inhibitor L-trans-pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylate (PDC), an NMDA receptor antagonist dizocilpine (MK-801) and an 2-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate (AMPA)/kainate (KA) receptor antagonist 6,7-dinitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (DNQX). Ammonia stimulated Tau accumulation in the microdialysates to similar to250% of the basal value. Furosemide did not significantly affect the stimulation by ammonia and DIDS only moderately depressed the effect, The ammonia-dependent Tau accumulation was increased by similar to50% in the presence of PDC and reduced by similar to35% in the presence dizocilpine and DNQX. In the microdialysates ammonia stimulated Glu and Gln accumulation somewhat less than Tau accumulation. Except for stimulation of Gln accumulation by DNQX, the effects were not modified by any of the cotreatments. The results are consistent with the assumption that ammonia stimulates Tau efflux mainly via activation of ionotropic Glu receptors.
