Clinically applicable GABA receptor positive allosteric modulators promote ß-cell replication. [PDF]
A key goal of diabetes research is to develop treatments to safely promote human ß-cell replication. It has recently become appreciated that activation of γ-aminobutyric acid receptors (GABA-Rs) on ß-cells can promote their survival and replication.

Morpho-physiological Diversity of Cholecystokinin-expressing Interneurons in the Dentate Gyrus
The hippocampus plays a crucial role in learning, memory, and emotion, with the dentate gyrus (DG) serving as the primary gateway. The DG receives multimodal sensory inputs from outside the hippocampus and relays this integrated information to downstream

Phenotype Expression Variability in Children with GABRB3 Heterozygous Mutations
GABRB3 gene is a recently identified gene located in 15q12 chromosome and encodes for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor subunit beta-3 protein, which is linked to the GABAA receptor.

Background: The gamma-aminobutyric acid GABA receptors are considered the main inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in mammalian brain and they have been proved to be existing in non-neuronal cells. Aim: Lorazepam which is one of the benzodiazepines,

Astrocyte-Ablation of Mtnr1b Increases Anxiety-Like Behavior in Adult Male Mice
Background: Astrocytes are essential for synaptic transmission, and their dysfunction can result in neuropsychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression.

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

Insights into GABA receptor signalling in TM3 Leydig cells [PDF]
gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an emerging signalling molecule in endocrine organs, since it is produced by endocrine cells and acts via GABA(A) receptors in a paracrine/autocrine fashion.

Role of nitric oxide synthase on brain GABA transaminase activity and GABA levels
In an attempt to clarify the controversial role of nitric oxide (NO) in seizures, the effects of NO on brain GABA transaminase (GABA-T) activity and GABA levels were investigated.

Combined therapy with GABA and proinsulin/alum acts synergistically to restore long-term normoglycemia by modulating T-cell autoimmunity and promoting β-cell replication in newly diabetic NOD mice. [PDF]
Antigen-based therapies (ABTs) fail to restore normoglycemia in newly diabetic NOD mice, perhaps because too few β-cells remain by the time that ABT-induced regulatory responses arise and spread.

GABA Generates Excitement [PDF]
In the CNS, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) acts as an inhibitory transmitter via ligand-gated GABA(A) receptor channels and G protein-coupled GABA(B) receptors. Both of these receptor types mediate inhibitory postsynaptic transmission throughout the nervous system. For GABA(A) receptors, this inhibitory action is associated with a hyperpolarization due
