Xenopus oocytes injected with poly(A)+ RNA from rat cerebral cortex express functional gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)A receptors with electrical properties and pharmacology similar to those of receptors studied in situ. Fenamates, a class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), had a dual effect on GABA-activated membrane current responses. Currents elicited by low concentrations of GABA were potentiated, whereas currents elicited by high concentrations of GABA were inhibited. The… Expand
