RESUMO

Glutamate is an inhibitor of phosphate dependent glutaminase (PDG), and renal cortical glutamate is decreased in metabolic acidosis. It has been postulated previously that the rise in renal production of ammonia from glutamine in metabolic acidosis is due primarily to activation of cortical PDG as a consequence of the fall in glutamate. The decrease in cortical glutamate has been attributed to the increase in the capacity of cortex to convert glutamate to glucose in acidosis.
