Gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) is a kind of pharmacological and biological component and its application is wide and useful in Korea specially, becoming aging society in the near feature. GABA is request special dose for the purposed biological effect but the production of concentrated GABA is very difficult due to low concentration of glutamic acid existed in the fermentation broth. To increa...

Gamma amino butyric acid (GABA), an important free in plant tissues, plays essential role all stages of growth and development. In this study, we aimed to explore the effects GABA on nutrient absorption loquat [Eriobotrya japonica (Thunb.) Lindl.] seedlings. The applying exogenous different concentrations (0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2 g L−1) uptake seedlings were studied. increased biomass (dry weight...

A defect in neurotransmission involving gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) in schizophrenia was first proposed in the early 1970s. Since that time, a considerable effort has been made to find such a defect in components of the GABAergic system. After a brief introduction focusing on historical perspectives, this paper reviews post-mortem and other biological studies examining the following compone...

Gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) possesses several physiological functions such as neurotransmission, induction of hypotension, diuretic and tranquilizer effects. Production of GABA-enriched products by lactic acid bacteria has been a focus of different researches in recent years because of their safety and health-promoting specifities. In this study, glutamate decarboxylase (gad) gene of a loca...

Twelve nonprotein amino acids appear to be present in the Murchison meteorite. The identity of eight of them has been conclusively established as N-methylglycine, beta-alanine, 2-methylalanine, alpha-amino-n-butyric acid, beta-amino-n-butyric acid, gamma-amino-n-butyric acid, isovaline, and pipecolic acid. Tentative evidence is presented for the presence of N-methylalanine, N-ethylglycine, beta...

Malfunctioning of synaptic vesicle in the absence of some essential regulatory proteins causes a significant decrease in the level of neurotransmitters like gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) leading to epilepsy. In the present work, GABA receptor associated protein (GABARAP), being the major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptor from C. elegans, is investigated for its efficacy with various antiep...

Three independent electrophysiological approaches in hypothalamic slices were used to test the hypothesis that gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA)A receptor activation excites suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) neurons during the subjective day, consistent with a recent report. First, multiple-unit recordings during either the subjective day or night showed that GABA or muscimol inhibited firing activit...

The role of brain neurotransmitter transport processes in rabies virus infection of neurons was examined. The uptake and release of gamma-amino-n-butyric acid (GABA) in rabies virus-infected embryonic rat cortical neurons was assayed using tritiated ligands. A 45% reduction of [3H]GABA uptake was observed 3 days post-infection, when a maximum level of infectious particle release occurs. At this...

Interactions between ethanol and synaptic transmission mediated by gamma -amino-N-butyric acid (GABA) have been suggested to contribute to alcohol intoxication. Ethanol effects on postsynaptic GABAA receptors have been the major focus of this line of research. There is increasing evidence that ethanol potentiation of GABAergic transmission involves increased GABA release from presynaptic termin...
