Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Astrocytes have multiple roles including providing neurons with metabolic substrates and maintaining neurotransmitter synaptic homeostasis. Astrocyte glucose metabolism plays a key role in learning and memory with astrocytic glycogen a key substrate supporting memory encoding. The neuronal support provided by astrocytes has a high metabolic demand. Deficits in astrocytic mitochondrial metaboli...
