A GABA reuptake inhibitor (GRI) is a type of drug which acts as a reuptake inhibitor for the neurotransmitter gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) by blocking the action of the gamma-Aminobutyric acid transporters (GATs). This in turn leads to increased extracellular concentrations of GABA and therefore an increase in GABAergic neurotransmission. [1]
GABA receptor antagonists are drugs that inhibit the action of GABA. In general these drugs produce stimulant and convulsant effects, and are mainly used for ...
Gamma-aminobutyric acid, a GABA-B receptor agonist. A GABA receptor agonist is a drug that is an agonist for one or more of the GABA receptors, producing typically sedative effects, and may also cause other effects such as anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant effects. [1] There are three receptors of the gamma-aminobutyric acid. The ...
[36] [37] [38] Although the term "GABA С receptor" is frequently used, GABA С may be viewed as a variant within the GABA A receptor family. [7] Others have argued that the differences between GABA С and GABA A receptors are large enough to justify maintaining the distinction between these two subclasses of GABA receptors.
Like other GABA-T inhibitors, γ-acetylenic GABA causes GABA levels in the brain to be elevated. This is due to 4-aminobutyrate transaminase being the enzyme that converts γ-aminobutyric acid to L-glutamate. Inhibiting the enzyme stops this conversion from happening.
Breast cancer is a rarity for men — roughly 1 out of 100,000 males get the potentially killer disease. Joe Polcaro Polcaro had noticed blood spots on a shirt from his own chest area two weeks ...

In a 2009 U.S. study, researchers found that a majority of the addicts they surveyed were buying Suboxone on the black market in an attempt to get sober. Seventy-four percent were using Suboxone to ease withdrawal symptoms while sixty-four percent were using it because they couldn’t afford drug treatment.
