Anaesthetic impairment of immune function is mediated via GABA(A) receptors.

PLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundGABA(A) receptors are members of the Cys-loop family of neurotransmitter receptors, proteins which are responsible for fast synaptic transmission, and are the site of action of wide range of drugs.

Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid in Stress and Depressive Disorders through the Gut–Brain Axis

Biomedicines, 2023
Research conducted on individuals with depression reveals that major depressive disorders (MDDs) coincide with diminished levels of the inhibitory neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, as well as modifications in the subunit ...

Emerging neurotrophic role of GABAB receptors in neuronal circuit development [PDF]

, 2013
The proper development of highly organized structures in the central nervous system is a complex process during which key events – neurogenesis, migration, growth, differentiation, and synaptogenesis – have to take place in an appropriate manner to ...

Stress and GABA_Areceptors [PDF]

Journal of Neurochemistry, 2010
J. Neurochem.(2010)112, 1115–1130.AbstractGABAAreceptors are sensitive to subtle changes in the environment in both early‐life and adulthood. These neurochemical responses to stress in adulthood are sex‐dependent. Acute stress induces rapid changes in GABAAreceptors in experimental animals, with the direction of the changes varying according to the sex

Huntington's disease leads to decrease of GABA-A tonic subunits in the D2 neostriatal pathway and their relocalization into the synaptic cleft

Neurobiology of Disease, 2018
GABA is a widely distributed inhibitory neurotransmitter. GABA-A receptors are hetero-pentameric channels assembled in multiple combinations from 19 available subunits; this diversity mediates phasic and tonic inhibitory synaptic potentials. Whereas GABA-

Activation of the Rat α1β2ε GABA_A Receptor by Orthosteric and Allosteric Agonists

Biomolecules, 2022
GABAA receptors are a major contributor to fast inhibitory neurotransmission in the brain. The receptors are activated upon binding the transmitter GABA or allosteric agonists including a number of GABAergic anesthetics and neurosteroids.

Presynaptic actions of 4-Aminopyridine and γ-aminobutyric acid on rat sympathetic ganglia in vitro [PDF]

, 1980
Responses to bath-applications of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) and -aminobutyric acid (GABA) were recorded intracellularly from neurones in the rat isolated superior cervical ganglion.

Stimulation of TM3 Leydig cell proliferation via GABA_A receptors: A new role for testicular GABA

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2004
The neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and subtypes of GABA receptors were recently identified in adult testes. Since adult Leydig cells possess both the GABA biosynthetic enzyme glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), as well as GABAA and GABAB ...

The potential role of pancreatic γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in diabetes mellitus: A critical reappraisal

International Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2021
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an endocrine disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, polyuria, polydipsia, and glucosuria. γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS) of humans and other mammals.

Development of GABAergic and glycinergic transmission in the neonatal rat dorsal horn [PDF]

, 2004
Cutaneous spinal sensory transmission appears to lack inhibitory control in the newborn spinal cord, but the properties of GABAergic and glycinergic synapses in the neonatal dorsal horn have not been characterized.
