Neuroprotective activities of acai berries (Euterpe sp.) against monosodium glutamate induced toxicity in neural cells

Although L-glutamate (L-Glu) is not an essential amino acid, it is a vital excitatory neurotransmitter that plays a critical role in brain function. An excess of L-Glu levels over 1 mM within excitatory synaptic cleft has been linked to neurotoxicity in neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) and st...
