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

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

Re-Evaluation of the Ultrastructural Localization of Tonic GABA-A Receptors [PDF]
PharmaceuticalsCell membrane receptors play key roles in physiological and pathological processes, yet the mechanisms governing their expression and distribution across the plasma membrane remain not completely understood. Broadly, membrane receptors can be categorized

Different subtypes of GABA-A receptors are expressed in human, mouse and rat T lymphocytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the most prominent neuroinhibitory transmitter in the brain, where it activates neuronal GABA-A receptors (GABA-A channels) located at synapses and outside of synapses.

Electrophysiology of ionotropic GABA receptors [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2021 GABAA receptors are ligand-gated chloride channels and ionotropic receptors of GABA, the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in vertebrates. In this review, we discuss the major and diverse roles GABAA receptors play in the regulation of neuronal ...

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 ...

A Gut Feeling about GABA: Focus on GABAB receptors
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2010 Gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the body and hence GABA-mediated neurotransmission regulates many physiological functions, including those in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

The involvement of GABA-rho receptors in regulating ethanol-induced elevation of dopamine, glycine and taurine within the nucleus accumbens of Wistar rats [PDF]
Frontiers in PharmacologyIntroductionAlcohol use disorder (AUD) causes significant morbidity and mortality globally. Ethanol’s rewarding and reinforcing effects are attributed to activation of the mesolimbic dopamine system, increasing accumbal dopamine release. While activation

Activation of GABA(A) receptors inhibits T cell proliferation
PLoS ONE, 2021 Background The major sites for fast synaptic inhibition in the central nervous system (CNS) are ion channels activated by γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). These receptors are referred as GABA(A) receptors (GABA(A)R). Recent evidence indicates a role of GABA(A)
