Biological target: L-Glutamic acid acts as an excitatory transmitter and an agonist at all subtypes of glutamate receptors (metabotropic, kainate, NMDA, and AMPA). L-Glutamic acid shows a direct activating effect on the release of DA from dopaminergic terminals.
In vitro activity: As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, the levels of methotrexate pentaglutamate (MTX-PG5) were significantly higher in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia cells treated with 20 mM glutamic acid compared with those of cells that were exposed only to MTX and MTX plus 10 mM glutamic acid. Reference: Medicina (Kaunas). 2019 Nov 26;55(12):758. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31779260/
In vivo activity: Surprisingly, 1% and 10% GA (glutamic acid) accelerated hair growth after 14 days of topical treatment (Fig. 3a). Using photomicrographs, this study also showed that GA increased external root sheath across all GA concentrations (Fig. 3b, Supplementary Fig. 1f.) with no hyperkeratosis effect. This study also consistently identified increased BrdU positive cells in the hair follicles and epidermal layer after 14-days of GA topical treatment (Figs. 3c, c,44f).
