Abstract:
Understanding cerebral energy metabolism in neurons and
astrocytes is necessary for the interpretation of functional
brain imaging data. It has been suggested that astrocytes can
provide lactate as an energy fuel to neurons, a process
referred to as astrocyte-neuron lactate shuttle (ANLS). Some
authors challenged this hypothesis, defending the classical
view that glucose is the major energy substrate of neurons, at
rest as well as in response to a stimulation. To test the ANLS
hypothesis from a theoretical point of view, we developed a
mathematical model of compartmentalized energy metabolism
between neurons and astrocytes, adopting hypotheses highly
unfavorable to ANLS. Simulation results can be divided between
two groups, depending on the relative neuron versus astrocyte
stimulation. If this ratio is low, ANLS is observed during all
the stimulus and poststimulus periods (continuous ANLS), but a
high ratio induces ANLS only at the beginning of the stimulus
and during the poststimulus period (triphasic behavior).
Finally, our results show that current experimental data on
lactate kinetics are compatible with the ANLS hypothesis, and
that it is essential to assess the neuronal and astrocytic
NADH/NAD+ ratio changes to test the ANLS hypothesis.
