A Georgetown University pharmacology and physiology professor gave an overview of “The World of GABA” in the annual Stephen and Mary Krop Lectureship in Pharmacology April 12. Tom Krop said the ...

Figure 1: Single oocyte binding method and comparison of the dose dependence of binding and activation. Figure 3: GABA dissociation and receptor deactivation at low temperature. The following simple ...

The activation of fast ion channels that are activated by neurotransmitters is initiated by the interaction of agonist and receptor. This signal at the agonist-binding site, which is located in the ...

Synaptic inhibition is based on both tonic and phasic release of the inhibitory transmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Although phasic GABA release arises from Ca²⁻ -dependent exocytosis from neurons ...

Diabetes is a disease affecting two pancreatic hormones — insulin and glucagon. In healthy people, insulin helps cells take up glucose from the blood when glucose levels are high. In contrast, ...

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter, or chemical messenger, in the brain. It has a calming effect by blocking certain signals in the nervous system. The brain produces and responds to ...

Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a naturally occurring amino acid that works as a neurotransmitter in your brain. Neurotransmitters function as chemical messengers. GABA is considered an inhibitory ...
