Computational prediction of MicroRNAs targeting GABA receptors and experimental verification of miR-181, miR-216 and miR-203 targets in GABA-A receptor [PDF]
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

Stimulation of TM3 Leydig cell proliferation via GABAA receptors: A new role for testicular GABA [PDF]
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 ...

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,

Axonal Modulation of Striatal Dopamine Release by Local γ-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) Signalling
Cells, 2021 Striatal dopamine (DA) release is critical for motivated actions and reinforcement learning, and is locally influenced at the level of DA axons by other striatal neurotransmitters. Here, we review a wealth of historical and more recently refined evidence

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 (

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.

Methods for recording and measuring tonic GABA¬A receptor-mediated inhibition
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013 Tonic inhibitory conductances mediated by GABAA receptors have now been identified and characterised in many different brain regions. Most experimental studies of tonic GABAergic inhibition have been carried out using acute brain slice preparations but ...
