Understanding your inhibitions: modulation of brain cortical metabolism by GABA(B) receptors.
Although the impact of neuronal excitation on the functional activity of brain is well understood, the nature of functional responses to inhibitory modulation is far from clear. In this work, we investigated the effects of modulation of the metabotropic GABA(B) receptor on brain metabolism using a targeted neuropharmacological, (1)H/(13)C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and metabolomic...
متن کاملOvercoming inhibitions.
O rganophosphorus nerve agents and pesticides (Fig. 1) markedly increase the amount and duration of the action of acetylcholine at all of the synaptic sites where it acts, resulting in overstimulation of critical processes that can lead to incapacitation, muscle paralysis, and death. In a recent issue of PNAS, Albuquerque et al. (1) reported that a drug already in use for treating Alzheimer’s d...
متن کاملUnderstanding your inhibitions. A functional metabolomic approach to the GABAergic system
Introduction The GABAergic system is complex; GABA may act at multiple subtypes of ionotropic and metabotropic GABA receptors, at GABA transporters and it may be metabolized in distinct metabolic pools of GABA. Discriminating this plethora of activities is problematic. Here, we describe a novel approach where the system is perturbed by specific GABA receptor ligands with known (or partially kno...
متن کاملAlpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) lowers body weight and affects intestinal innate immunity through influencing intestinal microbiota
Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG), a precursor of glutamate and a critical intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, shows beneficial effects on intestinal function. However, the influence of AKG on the intestinal innate immune system and intestinal microbiota is unknown. This study explores the effect of oral AKG administration in drinking water (10 g/L) on intestinal innate immunity and intestina...
متن کاملEnzyme inhibitions by Snake Venoms
1. Chromatography on silica gel, combined with infrared spectrometry, has been used to analyse mixtures of bile acids. 2. The results obtained by applying this method to an ox bile-salt preparation are described. Methyl lithocholate (methyl 3-hydroxycholanate) (1.8 mg.), methyl deoxycholate (methyl 3:12-dihydroxycholanate) (38 mg.), methyl chenodeoxycholate (methyl 3:7-dihydroxycholanate) (0-6 ...
