Although yet to be tested in clinical studies, this study identifies GABA A receptors containing α2 and α3 subunits as crucial components of spinal pain control, and provides a rationale for the ...

In particular, studies have suggested that something is unusual about signaling controlled by the inhibitory neurotransmitter, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), whether it be lower levels of GABA or the ...

These sleeping pills work on the GABA receptors in the brain, which help control our level of alertness or relaxation. The selective GABA medications target only a certain type of GABA receptor ...

NeuroRehabilitation 21: 23–28 Zolpidem is an omega-1-specific indirect γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonist used to treat insomnia; this drug has also previously been reported to improve the ...

When GABA receptors are stimulated, they reduce neuron firing, leading to sluggish movement. 3 This wobbly effect isn’t limited to humans; Rossi found that rodents exhibit similar behavior. He tested ...

Transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation inhibitors such as GABA type B agonists and mGluR5 inhibitors have been shown to decrease GERD episodes and improve reflux-related symptoms.

Attachment to the specific binding site enhances the affinity of GABA for its receptor site on the same receptor complex. The pharmacodynamic consequences of benzodiazepine agonist actions include ...
