1 In our study, we report that a combination of IL-1beta and TNFalpha exerts a synergistic effect on glucose utilization and markedly modifies the metabolic phenotype of astrocytes. Glucose interleukin 1 beta Mus musculus
2 Glutamate-stimulated glucose utilization and lactate release, a typical feature of astrocyte energy metabolism, are altered after pretreatment with IL-1beta+TNFalpha. Glucose interleukin 1 beta Mus musculus
3 Interestingly, stimulation of glucose utilization by IL-1beta+TNFalpha is not affected by the antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine, suggesting that cellular stress does not account for this effect. Glucose interleukin 1 beta Mus musculus
