Effect of Curcumin on the Hypothalamus Levels of the Potent Inhibitory Neurotransmitter ,Gamma aminobutyric acid
Background: There are some reports in the literature showing that hypothalamus synthesizes and secretes amino acid neurotransmitters. According to several studies, elevated serum levels of gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA), a potent inhibitory neurotransmitter, have recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of neural diseases. The purpose of this research was to estimate the effects of curcumi...
متن کاملEvolution of neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid, glutamate and their receptors.
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate are two important amino acid neurotransmitters widely present in the nervous systems of mammals, insects, round worm, and platyhelminths, while their receptors are quite diversified across different animal phyla. However, the evolutionary mechanisms between the two conserved neurotransmitters and their diversified receptors remain elusive, and antago...

متن کاملModulation of neurotransmitter action: control of the gamma-aminobutyric acid response through the benzodiazepine receptor.
The ability of several homologous benzodiazepine and heterologous nonbenzodiazepine ligands to alter the conductance increase induced in spinal cord neurons by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) was determined. Complete dose-response curves were carried out on individual neurons, reducing error introduced by cell-to-cell variability. The efficacies of modulation differ for "classical" benzodiazepin...
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...
