Intra-accumbens baclofen, but not muscimol, increases second order instrumental responding for food reward in rats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Stimulation of either GABA(A) or GABA(B) receptors within the nucleus accumbens shell strongly enhances food intake in rats. However the effects of subtype-selective stimulation of GABA receptors on instrumental responses for food reward are less well ...

Cells, 2022 Numerous studies recently showed that the inhibitory neurotransmitter, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), can stimulate cerebral angiogenesis and promote neurovascular coupling by activating the ionotropic GABAA receptors on cerebrovascular endothelial cells ...

Pharmacological Effect of GABA Analogues on GABA-ϱ2 Receptors and Their Subtype Selectivity
Life, 2022 GABAϱ receptors are distinctive GABAergic receptors from other ionotropic GABAA and metabotropic GABAB receptors in their pharmacological, biochemical, and electrophysiological properties. Although GABA-ϱ1 receptors are the most studied in this subfamily,

Functional modifications of acid-sensing ion channels by ligand-gated chloride channels. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Together, acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) and epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) constitute the majority of voltage-independent sodium channels in mammals. ENaC is regulated by a chloride channel, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (

Reproductive Medicine and Biology, 2023 Purpose Several widely used substances (e.g., some therapeutics or food supplements) can act on gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors, and we investigated whether the activation of these receptors could affect the preimplantation embryo.

Expression of GABAergic receptors in mouse taste receptor cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Multiple excitatory neurotransmitters have been identified in the mammalian taste transduction, with few studies focused on inhibitory neurotransmitters.

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.

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

Endoplasmic reticulum sorting and kinesin-1 command the targeting of axonal GABAB receptors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In neuronal cells the intracellular trafficking machinery controls the availability of neurotransmitter receptors at the plasma membrane, which is a critical determinant of synaptic strength.

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,
