摘要:
Chronic hyperactivation of excitatory amino acid pathways in the CNS of patients infected with HIV-1 may contribute to the pathogenesis of HIV-l-associated dementia complex. However, no correlation between the concentration of glutamate in CSF (mean 3.3 mu mol/L) and either HIV-1 infection or HTV-1-associated dementia complex was observed. The results clarify several important issues regarding analysis of glutamate in the CSF and the role of excitotoxins in HIV-1-associated dementia complex.
