Germinated brown rice. Germinated brown rice (GBR; Korean: 발아현미(發芽玄米), romanized: bara-hyeonmi, Japanese: 発芽玄米(はつがげんまい), romanized: hatsuga-genmai) is unpolished brown rice that has been allowed to germinate to improve the flavor and texture, and to increase levels of nutrients such as γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
It was found that the chemically synthesized GABA reduces blood pressure in experimental animals [2] [3] and humans. [4] Further research demonstrated that GABA tea was also able to reduce the blood pressure in experimental animals and humans. [5] [6] [7] [full citation needed] GABA tea production was also widely adopted by Taiwanese tea makers.
Apigenin competitively binds to the benzodiazepine site on GABA A receptors. [6] There exist conflicting findings regarding how apigenin interacts with this site. [7] [8] Apigenin can increase the activity of endogenous antioxidant enzymes such as SOD and CAT, helping to reduce oxidative stress.
Apples. The original source of sweetness for many of the early settlers in the United States, the sugar from an apple comes with a healthy dose of fiber.
γ-Hydroxybutyric acid, also known as gamma-hydroxybutyric acid, GHB, or 4-hydroxybutanoic acid, is a naturally occurring neurotransmitter and a depressant drug.It is a precursor to GABA, glutamate, and glycine in certain brain areas.
In Citrus plants, research has shown that glutamate decarboxylase plays a key role in citrate metabolism. With the increase of glutamate decarboxylase via direct exposure, citrate levels have been seen to significantly increase within plants, and in conjunction post-harvest quality maintenance was significantly improved, and rot rates decreased ...
By inhibiting ALA-T and GABA-T, phenelzine causes an increase in the alanine and GABA levels in the brain and body. [28] GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system, and is very important for the normal suppression of anxiety, stress, and depression. Phenelzine's action in increasing GABA concentrations ...
[9] [10] Because GABA-T degrades GABA, the inhibition of this enzyme has been the target of many medical studies. [9] The goal of these studies is to find a way to inhibit GABA-T activity, which would reduce the rate that GABA and 2-oxoglutarate are converted to semialdehyde and L-glutamate, thus raising GABA concentration in the brain.
