    • Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) dose dependently increased extracellular acidification rate in Ltk cells stably expressing human recombinant alpha1beta3gamma2 GABA(A) receptors but had no effect in non-transfected controls. Cells seeded at 1 x 10(5) cells/cup, with 4-5 days induction, had basal acidification rates of 105+/-2 microVs(-1) at 37 degrees C (mean+/-standard error of mean, n=37). GABA responses had a characteristic time-course with an initial alkalinisation followed by a peak of… CONTINUE READING
