Glutamate transporter-1 link astrocytes with heightened aggressive behavior induced by steroid abuse in male CF1 mice - Rodolphi MS, Kopczynski A, Carteri RBK, Sartor M, Fontella FU, Feldmann M, Hansel G, Strogulski NR, Portela LV.

The astrocytic glutamate transporter GLT-1 performs glutamate uptake thereby mediating NMDAr responses in neurons. Ceftriaxone (CEF) upregulates astrocytic GLT-1 expression/activity, which could counteract excessive glutamate levels and aggressive behavior...
