Inhibition of activity of GABA transporter GAT1 by δ-opioid receptor [PDF]
, 2012 Analgesia is a well-documented effect of acupuncture. A critical role in pain sensation plays the nervous system, including the GABAergic system and opioid receptor (OR) activation.

New GABA amides activating GABAA-receptors [PDF]
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2013 We have prepared a series of new and some literature-reported GABA-amides and determined their effect on the activation of GABAA-receptors expressed in CHO cells. Special attention was paid to the purification of the target compounds to remove even traces of GABA contaminations, which may arise from deprotection steps in the synthesis. GABA-amides were

GABA increases electrical excitability in a subset of human unmyelinated peripheral axons [PDF]
, 2010 A proportion of small diameter primary sensory neurones innervating human skin are chemosensitive. They respond in a receptor dependent manner to chemical mediators of inflammation as well as naturally occurring algogens, thermogens and pruritogens.

GABA and GABA Receptors in Insects: Lessons from Periplaneta americana and Drosophila melanogaster
ReceptorsGABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) is the most abundant inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system of insects. GABAergic signal transduction is involved in the control and modulation of various vital functions such as salivation, locomotion ...

Involvement of γ-Aminobutyric acid and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in diabetic gastropathy in rats: possible beneficial effect of prolonged treatment with insulin and magnesium supplement [PDF]
Archives of Razi InstituteGastrointestinal dysfunction is a severe and common complication in diabetic patients. Some evidence shows that gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate contribute to diabetic gastrointestinal abnormalities. Hence, we examined the impact of prolonged

Understanding the function of the GABAergic system and its potential role in rheumatoid arthritis
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a highly disabling chronic autoimmune disease. Multiple factors contribute to the complex pathological process of RA, in which an abnormal autoimmune response, high survival of inflammatory cells, and excessive release of ...

Identification of serine 867 as new phosphorylation site on the GABA(B) receptor : characterization of physiological effects [PDF]
, 2011 The GABAB receptor is the metabotropic receptor for γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). The functional receptor is a heteromer consisting of a GABAB1 and GABAB2 subunit.

A novel open channel blocker of GABA-A receptors [PDF]
, 2014 GABA-A receptors are chloride ion channels composed of five subunits, mediating fast synaptic and tonic inhibition in the mammalian brain. 19 different subunit isoforms have been identified, with the major receptor type in mammalian adult brain ...
