gamma-aminobutyric acid is the main inhibitory amino acid neurotransmitter in several areas of the brain. measurement of gamma-aminobutyric acid in the brain will help elucidate its metabolic rote and diagnostic value. the liquid chromatography (lc) system consisted of a delivery pump. male rats (150-250g) were used in this study. the brain was rapidly removed from decapitated animals. trie chr...

this study examined the effects of a protein rich diet on coping neurotransmitter levels in orally administered ampicillin–induced neurotoxic rats compared with propionic acid (pa) models of autism. 40 young male western albino rats were divided into four groups. the first group served as control and received phosphate buffered saline orally; the second group serving as autistic model was treat...

introduction: kainic acid (ka) induces neuropathological changes in specific regions of the mouse hippocampus comparable to changes seen in patients with chronic temporal lobe epilepsy (tle). according to different studies, the expression of a number of genes are altered in the adult rat hippocampus after status epilepticus (se) induced by ka. this study aimed to quantitatively evaluate changes...
