Interaction of hypothalamic GABA\u3csub\u3eA\u3c/sub\u3e and excitatory amino acid receptors controlling heart rate in rats [PDF]
, 1991 We have previously shown that microinjection of drugs that impair gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated synaptic inhibition into the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) of rats generates cardiovascular and behavioral changes that mimic the response to ...

Hypothalamic excitatory amino acid receptors mediate stress-induced tachycardia in rats [PDF]
, 1992 The role of hypothalamic excitatory amino acid (EAA) receptors in mediating the cardiovascular response to stress was examined using conscious chronically instrumented rats.

The kynurenine pathway and the brain: challenges, controversies and promises [PDF]
, 2017 Research on the neurobiology of the kynurenine pathway has suffered years of relative obscurity because tryptophan degradation, and its involvement in both physiology and major brain diseases, was viewed almost exclusively through the lens of the well ...

An expanding range of targets for kynurenine metabolites of tryptophan [PDF]
, 2013 The kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism accounts for most of the tryptophan that is not committed to protein synthesis and includes compounds active in the nervous and immune systems.

Fathoming the kynurenine pathway in migraine: why understanding the enzymatic cascades is still critically important [PDF]
, 2015 Kynurenine pathway, the quantitatively main branch of tryptophan metabolism, has been long been considered a source of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, although several of its products, the so-called kynurenines, are endowed with the capacity to ...

Interaction of GABA and Excitatory Amino Acids in the Basolateral Amygdala: Role in Cardiovascular Regulation [PDF]
, 1997 Activation of the amygdala in rats produces cardiovascular changes that include increases in heart rate and arterial pressure as well as behavioral changes characteristic of emotional arousal.

Improvement of kynurenine aminotransferase-II inhibitors guided by mimicking sulfate esters. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The mammalian kynurenine aminotransferase (KAT) enzymes are a family of related isoforms that are pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent, responsible for the irreversible transamination of kynurenine to kynurenic acid.

Effects of ethylenediamine – a putative GABA-releasing agent – on rat hippocampal slices and neocortical activity in vivo [PDF]
, 2010 The simple diamine diaminoethane (ethylenediamine, EDA) has been shown to activate GABA receptors in the central and peripheral nervous systems, partly by a direct action and partly by releasing endogenous GABA.
