Methods for recording and measuring tonic GABA¬A receptor-mediated inhibition

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013
Tonic inhibitory conductances mediated by GABAA receptors have now been identified and characterised in many different brain regions. Most experimental studies of tonic GABAergic inhibition have been carried out using acute brain slice preparations but ...

Evidence for a GABAergic system in rodent and human testis: Local GABA production and GABA receptors [PDF]

, 2003
The major neurotransmitter of the central nervous system, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), exerts its actions through GABA(A), GABA(B) and GABA(C) receptors.

Computational prediction of MicroRNAs targeting GABA receptors and experimental verification of miR-181, miR-216 and miR-203 targets in GABA-A receptor

BMC Research Notes, 2012
Background GABA receptors are well known as the inhibitory receptors in the central nervous system and are also found in peripheral tissues. We have previously shown that GABA receptors are involved in lung development and fluid homeostasis. However, the

GABA_B Receptors Tonically Inhibit Motoneurons and Neurotransmitter Release from Descending and Primary Afferent Fibers

Life, 2023
Motoneurons receive thousands of excitatory and inhibitory synapses from descending tracts and primary afferent fibers. The excitability of these neurons must be precisely regulated to respond adequately to the requirements of the environment.

An autocrine role for pituitary GABA: Activation of GABA-B receptors and regulation of growth hormone levels [PDF]

, 2002
There is increasing evidence suggesting that the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a local factor involved in the regulation of endocrine organs.

GABA maintains the proliferation of progenitors in the developing chick ciliary marginal zone and non-pigmented ciliary epithelium.

PLoS ONE, 2012
GABA is more than the main inhibitory neurotransmitter found in the adult CNS. Several studies have shown that GABA regulates the proliferation of progenitor and stem cells.

GABA_A-ρ Receptors in the CNS: Their Functional, Pharmacological, and Structural Properties in Neurons and Astroglia

Neuroglia, 2023
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is known as the main inhibitory transmitter in the central nervous system (CNS), where it hyperpolarizes mature neurons through activation of GABAA receptors, pentameric complexes assembled by combination of subunits (α1–6,

Molecular pharmacology of an insect GABA receptor [PDF]

, 2010
Cys-loop receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that are involved in fast synaptic neurotransmission in the central and peripheral nervous system. The Cys-loop receptor RDL (‘resistant to dieldrin’) is a GABA-gated chloride channel from Drosophila ...

Acute phenobarbital administration induces hyperalgesia: pharmacological evidence for the involvement of supraspinal GABA-A receptors

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001
The aim of the present study was to determine if phenobarbital affects the nociception threshold. Systemic (1-20 mg/kg) phenobarbital administration dose dependently induced hyperalgesia in the tail-flick, hot-plate and formalin tests in rats and in the ...
