Introduction: Astrocytes, the predominant glial cell in the brain, play a vital role in a plethora of central ner vous system functions. They are the major storage site of glycogen in the central nervous system. They produce L-lactate by glycogenolysis and glycolysis which is then transported to neurons(Magistreti and Allaman,
