Carrier-mediated gamma-aminobutyric acid uptake in human spermatozoa indicating the presence of a high-affinity gamma-aminobutyric acid transport protein.
Human spermatozoa are capable of a carrier-mediated gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) uptake. The uptake is dependent on the concentration of Cl- and Na+ in the external medium, and the kinetics of the carrier resembles high-affinity GABA transport proteins. The time-dependent uptake of GABA displays large interindividual differences and is not correlated to motility parameters or morphology in th...
متن کاملGamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) Monograpy
Introduction Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a major neuro transmitter widely distributed throughout the central nervous system (CNS). Because too much excitation can lead to irritability, restlessness, insomnia, seizures, and movement disorders, it must be balanced with inhibition. GABA – the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain – provides this inhibition, acting like a “b...
متن کاملP146: Gamma Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) and its Alterations in Stress
Gamma aminobutyrate (GABA) is a non-protein amino acid that is thought to play an important role in the modulation of the central response to stress. Mechanisms by which GABA may facilitate these responses to stress are metabolic and/or mechanical disruptions. Environmental stresses increase GABA accumulation through cytosolic acidification, induce an acidic pH-dependent activation of glutamate...
متن کاملdetermination of gamma - aminobutyric acid by high-performance liquid chromatography
gamma-aminobutyric acid is the main inhibitory amino acid neurotransmitter in several areas of the brain. measurement of gamma-aminobutyric acid in the brain will help elucidate its metabolic rote and diagnostic value. the liquid chromatography (lc) system consisted of a delivery pump. male rats (150-250g) were used in this study. the brain was rapidly removed from decapitated animals. trie chr...
متن کاملgamma-Aminobutyric acid, acting through gamma -aminobutyric acid type A receptors, inhibits the biosynthesis of neurosteroids in the frog hypothalamus.
Most of the actions of neurosteroids on the central nervous system are mediated through allosteric modulation of the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA(A)) receptor, but a direct effect of GABA on the regulation of neurosteroid biosynthesis has never been investigated. In the present report, we have attempted to determine whether 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3beta-HSD)-containing neuro...
