Abstract: 
Activity of the high-affinity sodium-dependent glutamate transporters in the brain nerve terminals is demonstrated to alter under artificial gravity conditions. A comparison analyzis is made for L- [14С] glutamate transport in platelets and isolated nerve terminals. The kinetic characteristics of the transporters, [Na+]-dependence and influence of the transporter inhibitor DL-threo-beta-benzyloxyaspartate on the L- [14С] glutamate uptake process are determined. It is shown that glutamate uptake process is very similar for platelets and nerve terminals. Thus it is reasonable to use platelets as a potential peripheral model for glutamate transport. �онкурентного інгібітора DL-трео-бета-гідрокси-аспартату на процес накопичення L- [14С] глутамату тромбоцитами і нервовими закінченнями. Показано, що значення vmaxпроцесу накопичення значно менші у препараті тромбоцитів ніж у нервових закінченнях. Очевидно, це пов'язано з тим, що плазматична мембрана синаптосом містить більшу кількість транспортерів глутамату, ніж мембрана тромбоцитів. У цілому процес накопичення глутамату тромбоцитами і синаптосомами демонстрував значну подібність, і тромбоцити можна використовувати як потенційну периферичну модель транспорту глутамату в ЦНС.
