Chloride redistribution during type A gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA(A)) currents (I(GABA)) has been investigated in cultured frog pituitary melanotrophs with imposed intracellular chloride concentration ([Cl(-)](i)) in the whole cell configuration or with unaltered [Cl(-)](i) using the gramicidin-perforated patch approach. Prolonged GABA exposures elicited reproducible decaying currents. The de...

GABA(B) receptor (GABA(B)R)-mediated presynaptic inhibition regulates neurotransmitter release from synaptic terminals. In the neonatal hippocampus, GABA(B)R activation reduces GABA release and terminates spontaneous network discharges called giant depolarizing potentials (GDPs). Blocking GABA(B)Rs transforms GDPs into longer epileptiform discharges. Thus, GABA(B)R-mediated presynaptic inhibiti...

In mammalian peripheral sympathetic ganglia GABA acts presynaptically to facilitate cholinergic transmission and postsynaptically to depolarize membrane potential. The GABA effect on parasympathetic pancreatic ganglia is unknown. We aimed to determine the effect of locally applied GABA on cat pancreatic ganglion neurons. Ganglia with attached nerve trunks were isolated from cat pancreata. Conve...

There is increasing evidence suggesting that the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a local factor involved in the regulation of endocrine organs. Examples of such functions are documented in the pancreas, but recent results suggest that GABA may act in a similar way in the pituitary, in which GABA receptors are expressed and pituitary growth hormone (GH) cells provide a source ...

Abstract. Syukur S, Safrizayanti, Zulaiha Supriwardi E, Fahmi A, Nurfadilah KK, Purwati E. 2021. Potential antioxidant activity of Lactobacillus fermentum KF7 from virgin coconut oil products in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 1628-1634. The isolation and characterization five commercial Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) circulating the local market Padang city were conducted. In this...

Aim We examined if tonic ?-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-activated currents in primary hippocampal neurons were modulated by insulin wild-type and tg-APPSwe mice, an Alzheimer's disease (AD) model. Methods GABA-activated recorded dentate gyrus (DG) granule cells CA3 pyramidal brain slices, from 8 to 10 weeks old (young) mice dorsal DG adult, 5-6 10-12 (aged) months the absence or presence of insulin...

In the context of global warming, heat stress has become one major factors limiting dairy cattle production. Although many methods have been explored to help cows mitigate negative effects during hot summer months, maintaining performance high-yielding under is still a great challenge. The aim this trial was investigate effect RP-GABA in diet on milk yield, composition and serum biochemical par...

Ionotropic GABA(A) receptors are a highly heterogenous population of receptors assembled from a combination of multiple subunits. The aims of this study were to characterize the potency of GABA at human recombinant δ-containing extrasynaptic GABA(A) receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes using the two-electrode voltage clamp technique, and to investigate, using site-directed mutagenesis, the mo...

Activation of GABA(A)Rs in the lateral nucleus of the amygdala (LA), a key site of plasticity underlying fear learning, impairs fear learning. The role of GABA(C)Rs in the LA and other brain areas is poorly understood. GABA(C)Rs could be an important novel target for pharmacological treatments of anxiety-related disorders since, unlike GABA(A)Rs, GABA(C)Rs do not desensitize. To detect function...

In this paper it has been shown that deterioration of the brain cortex capillary system and negative dynamics of cerebral tissue morphology occur under conditions of hypo kinesia. Simultaneously, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and piracetam have been shown to favor the development of vasodilation and prevent further worsening of the cerebral blood supply. During the experiment, it was also ...
