Neurotransmitter production rates (μmole/g/min) under resting conditions in comparison with their maximum values. The rates for resting conditions were calculated with the objective maximizing glutamate/glutamine/GABA cycle fluxes between the two cell types with subsequent minimization of Euclidean norm of fluxes. The maximum value that a neurotransmitter production flux can attain was calculated for comparison by maximizing each of these fluxes one by one using linear programming.
