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

, 1980
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.

GABAA receptors and alcohol [PDF]

Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 2008
There is substantial evidence that GABAergic neurotransmission is important for many behavioral actions of ethanol and there are reports spanning more than 30 years of literature showing that low to moderate (3-30 mM) concentrations of ethanol enhance GABAergic neurotransmission.

Activation of the Rat α1β2ε GABA_A Receptor by Orthosteric and Allosteric Agonists

Biomolecules, 2022
GABAA receptors are a major contributor to fast inhibitory neurotransmission in the brain. The receptors are activated upon binding the transmitter GABA or allosteric agonists including a number of GABAergic anesthetics and neurosteroids.

Modulation of the GABAergic pathway for the treatment of fragile X syndrome. [PDF]

, 2014
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability and the most common single-gene cause of autism. It is caused by mutations on the fragile X mental retardation gene (FMR1) and lack of fragile X mental retardation ...

Control of cortical neuronal migration by glutamate and GABA

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015
Neuronal migration in the cortex is controlled by the paracrine action of the classical neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA. Glutamate controls radial migration of pyramidal neurons by acting primarily on NMDA receptors and regulates tangential ...

Insights into GABA receptor signalling in TM3 Leydig cells [PDF]

, 2005
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.

Identifying GABA-A Receptor Modulators that Bind to Intersubunit Sites in the GABA-A Receptor Transmembrane Domain [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2016
GABAARs, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the brain, belong to the superfamily of pentameric ligand-gated ion channels, each containing five identical/homologous subunits arranged pseudosymmetrically around a central ion channel. For α1β3γ2 GABAARs, the most common subtype, subunits are ordered βαβαγ, with transmitter binding sites at

GABA potency at GABAA receptors found in synaptic and extrasynaptic zones

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2012
The potency of GABA is vitally important for its primary role in activating GABAA receptors and acting as an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Although numerous laboratories have presented information, directly or indirectly, on GABA potency, it is often ...

Intermittent Hypoxia Interferes with Autocrine Effects of GABA on Insulin Secretion in Postnatal Rodents—Implications for Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Children, 2022
Gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) is well known to help elevate pancreatic β cell vitality and insulin levels in blood. GABA works via a coupling with GABA receptors; thus, the concentration of GABAA receptors on the plasma membrane of β cells appears to ...

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.
