Germinated brown rice (GBR) has a high gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content and antioxidant capacity; however, the effects of high-temperature cooking on these characteristics are unclear. We investigated alterations in GABA content, capacity, 15 proteinogenic amino acids, TP reducing sugar color cooked GBR at 105°C to 135°C different times (40 90 min) 105°C. The contents 9 acids decreased vi...

S(+)-2,4-Diaminobutyric acid is at least 20 times more potent than the R(-) stereoisomer as an inhibitor of the sodium-dependent uptake of 4-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in rat brain slices. Both isomers, however, are equipotent as inhibitors of sodium-independent binding of GABA to membranes from rat brain. The latter finding may be relevant to the reported neurotoxicity in rats of both isomers of...

BackgroundThe latest diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis (MS) have revitalized the role of oligoclonal bands synthesis in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF-OCB). This study identifies predictors CSF-OCB-positivity among vivo metabolic markers subcortical gray/white matter MS patients after their first episode (CIS) and with relapsing-remitting course (RRMS).MethodsThe enrolled 13 CIS 23 RRMS pati...

We have synthesized a photosensitive (or caged) 4-carboxymethoxy-5,7-dinitroindolinyl (CDNI) derivative of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Two-photon excitation of CDNI-GABA produced rapid activation of GABAergic currents in neurons in brain slices with an axial resolution of approximately 2 mum and enabled high-resolution functional mapping of GABA-A receptors. Two-photon uncaging of GABA, the...

Blockade of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor function by direct microinjection of the GABA receptor antagonist bicuculline into the nucleus ambiguus of the brainstem produced a marked, dose-related depression of heart rate and blood pressure which was mediated by the vagus nerve. This effect was not obtained in other regions of the brainstem and was reversed by the GABA receptor agonist ...

So far there is not much research considering female sex as a risk factor for developing focal cervical dystonia and concomitant psychiatric symptoms such anxiety. New proposes ideas of CD baseline pathophysiology targeting neurobiological mechanisms gamma aminobutyric acid GABAergic function underlying sexual dimorphism an intrinsic the disease itself. Our examines connection between motor non...

Abstract Benzodiazepines (BZDs) such as Zolpidem can produce a temporary revival of patients who have been akinetic and apathic for years. The mechanisms underlying this “awakening” reaction are suggested globally to be related an activation gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) inhibitory systems. However, brain trauma or cerebro-vascular infarcts, like many other pathological insults, associated wit...
