RATIONALE Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter of the central nervous system, is found in the systemic circulation of humans at a concentration between 0.5 and 3 μmol/L. However, the potential source of circulating GABA and its significance on the vascular system remains unknown. We hypothesized that endothelial cells (ECs) may synthesize and release GABA to modulate some functions in the EC and after its release into the circulation. OBJECTIVE To assess whether GABA is…

A Buttery Taste to Vascular Biology: Endothelial Cells Generate and Release γ-Aminobutyric Acid.
TLDR
Although GABA is mainly associated with its effect in the central nervous system, numerous reports suggest that GABA is also of importance in the gastrointestinal tract, the immune system, and some stem cell populations.
The vasorelaxant properties of novel benzodiazepine-like ligands on isolated rat thoracic aorta
TLDR
The vasorelaxant properties of diazepam, GABA and novel imidazobenzodiazepine amide ligands GL-II-73 and GLII-74 are demonstrated, which points to the possibility of using α5 selective GABAAR modulators as potential therapeutic targets for novel vasodilators.
Vasodilatory effects of a variety of positive allosteric modulators of GABAA receptors on rat thoracic aorta.

TLDR
GABA-salt reduced high salt, high cholesterol diet induced hypertension in a mouse model by reducing M1 polarization, EC dysfunction, and VSMC proliferation.

STUDY OF NEUROTRANSMITTERS IN PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS
TLDR
Isoniazid has significant effect on several biochemical pathways, including the metabolism of pyridoxine substantially reducing its activity, leading to clinical pyridine depletion, and low levels of dopamine tend to result in very serious depression or anxiety in TB patients.
Endothelial Cell Metabolism.
TLDR
It is shown that maladaptation of EC metabolism contributes to vascular disorders, through EC dysfunction or excess angiogenesis, and presents new opportunities for anti-angiogenic strategies.

Modulating Neuro-Immune-Induced Macrophage Polarization With Topiramate Attenuates Experimental Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
TLDR
The data implied that topiramate treatment significantly promoted macrophages preservation and conversion of M1 to M2 macrophage phenotypes in vivo and in vitro, and proinflammatory activities mediated by the M1Macrophages were decreased and the repair process mediated by M2 Macrophages was enhanced.

Hepatic encephalopathy and the gamma-aminobutyric-acid neurotransmitter system.
TLDR
It is postulated that in liver failure gut-derived GABA passes through a permeable blood-brain barrier and induces its own receptors in the brain, and that an increased number of drug-binding sites mediates enhanced sensitivity to barbiturates and benzodiazepines in Liver failure.

THE ACTIONS OF γ-AMINOBTJTYRIC ACID AND RELATED AMINO ACIDS ON MAMMALIAN AUTONOMIC GANGLIA
TLDR
The antagonism between picrotoxin and GABA in ganglia represents the first demonstration of this interaction in the mammalian nervous system and raises the possibility that a similar pharmacologic antagonism may yet be discovered at sites in the mammals central nervous system.

TLDR
The GABA concentrations in CSF and plasma of dog, cat and rat were determined and compared with those of man using the radioreceptor assay of ENNA et al. (19776) and preliminary experiments on the effect of agents known to increase brain GABA on the concentration of this amino acid in CSf and plasma are reported.
Evidence for Feedback Regulation of Glutamate Decarboxylase by γ‐Aminobutyric Acid
TLDR
A mechanism for direct feedback control of presynaptic GABA synthesis is provided and further support for the regulation of glutamate decarboxylase in vivo by a cycle of inactivation and reactivation is provided.

Two Forms of the γ‐Aminobutyric Acid Synthetic Enzyme Glutamate Decarboxylase Have Distinct Intraneuronal Distributions and Cofactor Interactions
TLDR
It is suggested that the relative levels of apo‐GAD65 and holo‐ GAD65 in synaptic terminals may couple GABA production to neuronal activity.
Cleft palate and decreased brain gamma-aminobutyric acid in mice lacking the 67-kDa isoform of glutamic acid decarboxylase.
TLDR
This is the first demonstration of a role for GAD67-derived GABA in the development of nonneural tissue, and it is demonstrated that lack of GAD65 does not change brain GABA contents or animal behavior, except for a slight increase in susceptibility to seizures.
