Involvement of γ-aminobutyric acid transporter 2 in the hepatic uptake of taurine in rats.
Taurine is essential for the hepatic synthesis of bile salts and, although taurine is synthesized mainly in pericentral hepatocytes, taurine and taurine-conjugated bile acids are abundant in periportal hepatocytes. One possible explanation for this discrepancy is that the active supply of taurine to hepatocytes from the blood stream is a key regulatory factor. The purpose of the present study i...
متن کاملActivation of Glycine and Extrasynaptic GABAA Receptors by Taurine on the Substantia Gelatinosa Neurons of the Trigeminal Subnucleus Caudalis
The substantia gelatinosa (SG) of the trigeminal subnucleus caudalis (Vc) has been known for the processing and transmission of orofacial nociceptive information. Taurine, one of the most plentiful free amino-acids in humans, has proved to be involved in pain modulation. In this study, using whole-cell patch clamp technique, we investigated the direct membrane effects of taurine and the action ...
متن کاملHypertonicity enhances GABA uptake by cultured rat retinal capillary endothelial cells.
We have reported previously that taurine transporter (TauT) mediates γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as a substrate in a conditionally immortalized rat retinal capillary endothelial cell line (TR-iBRB2 cells). This study investigates how TauT-mediated GABA transport is regulated in TR-iBRB2 cells under hypertonic conditions. [³H]GABA uptake by TR-iBRB2 cells exposed to 12 h- to 24 h-hypertonic cultu...
متن کاملDifferential modulation of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors by caprolactam derivatives with central nervous system depressant or convulsant activity.
The effects of a series of caprolactam derivatives with central depressant, convulsant or muscle relaxant activity were investigated upon gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor-ionophore binding to rat brain membranes using [3H]GABA, [3H]GABA, [3H]muscimol and [35S]-tert.-butylbicyclophophorothionate ([35S]TBPS) as ligands, and GABA responses in mouse spinal cord neurones in dissociated cell c...
متن کاملTaurine action on mitral cell activity in the frog olfactory bulb in vivo.
Taurine (TAU) is a free amino acid that is particularly abundant in the olfactory bulb. In the frog, TAU is located in the terminations of the primary olfactory axons and in the granular cell layer. TAU action seems to be associated with gamma amino butyric acid (GABA), the main inhibitory neurotransmitter involved in the processing of the sensory signal. The present study was designed to asses...
