Cerebrospinal fluid gamma-aminobutyric acid (CSF-GABA) was analysed by radioreceptor assay in 16 normal controls and 84 patients with various neurological and psychiatric diseases. In patients with spinocerebellar degeneration, neuro-Behçet's syndrome and Parkinson's disease, CSF-GABA levels were decreased. On the other hand, increased CSF-GABA levels were detected in patients with meningitis.

CSF gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels were reduced in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease when compared with age matched controls, but the difference was not significant. However, when the Parkinsonian patients were subdivided, CSF GABA levels were lower in the levodopa treated group than in the untreated group and the controls. There was no difference in plasma GABA levels between...

Cerebrospinal fluid gamma-aminobutyric acid (CSF-GABA) was analysed by radioreceptor assay in 16 normal controls and 84 patients with various neurological and psychiatric diseases. In patients with spinocerebellar degeneration, neuro-Beh9et's syndrome and Parkinson's disease, CSF-GABA levels were decreased. On the other hand, increased CSF-GABA levels were detected in patients with meningitis.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) has several health-promoting qualities, leading to a growing demand for natural GABA production via microbial fermentation. The GABA-producing abilities of the new Tetragenococcus halophilus (THSK) isolated from commercial soy sauce moromi were proven in this investigation. Under aerobic conditions, isolate produced 293.43 mg/L after 5 days cultivation, compared 2...

The primary inhibitory and excitatory amino acid neurotransmitters are gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate, respectively. Despite their pervasiveness in brain function and sensory processes, the amino acid neurotransmitters have received limited attention in the study of autism and related developmental disabilities. While the ubiquity of GABA and glutamate pathways in the CNS suggests...

The effects of gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (gamma-HCH) and its alpha, beta and delta isomers on the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) responses of human alpha1beta3gamma2S and alpha6beta3gamma2S GABA(A) receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes were examined by conventional two-electrode voltage-clamp techniques. Gamma-HCH induced partial inhibition of EC50 GABA responses, whereas the alpha and delta...

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a widely grown and important forage crop. However, alkali stress detrimental to alfalfa yield nutritional quality. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) signaling molecule, it participates in responds metabolic regulation related plant growth development stress. In this study, we clarify the effect of spraying seedlings with GABA on tolerance seedlings. We determined th...

Application of 4-(aminomethyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (tranexamic acid; TAMCA) to the central nervous system (CNS) has been shown to result in hyperexcitability and convulsions. However, the mechanisms underlying this action are unknown. In the present study, we demonstrate that TAMCA binds to the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) binding site of GABA(A) receptors in membranes from rat cerebral...
