Lead disrupts glutamate reuptake at the blood-brain barrier, contributing to excitotoxic neuronal injury in lead encephalopathy. Dysfunction of which glial cell type, which normally maintains the BBB and clears synaptic glutamate, best explains this mechanism?

In vitro kinetic studies show lead inhibits ALA dehydratase with a Ki of 0.1 µM, but inhibits ferrochelatase with a Ki of 10 µM. Based on these binding affinities, which enzymatic reaction would be expected to show reduced activity at the lowest (earliest, most sensitive) blood lead levels?
