Abstract: The modification of dopamine release and accumulation induced by γ‐hydroxybutyrate (GHB) was studied using both striatal slices and in vivo microdialysis of caudate‐putamen. GHB inhibited dopamine release for ∼5–10 min in vitro, and this was associated with an accumulation of dopamine in the tissue. Subsequently, there was an increase in dopamine release. In the microdialysis experiments, low doses of GHB inhibited dopamine release, whereas higher doses strongly increased release; the…

Sodium oxybate has been observed to modulate sleep in nonclinical study participants, and sleep and wakefulness in clinical populations, including groups with insomnia, fibromyalgia and narcolepsy, and evidence suggests a role for GHB as a neuromodulator/neurotransmitter.

Does γ-Hydroxybutyrate Inhibit or Stimulate Central da Release?
- Biology
- 1996
Following a critical review of the literature, the present report suggests that GHB does inhibit rather than stimulate presynaptic DA release in consonance with its behavioral and pharmacological properties.
Gamma-hydroxybutyrate is a GABAB receptor agonist that increases a potassium conductance in rat ventral tegmental dopamine neurons.
- BiologyThe Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics
- 1998
Electrophysiological recordings suggest that GHB is an agonist at gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors and would be expected to inhibit DA release by causing K+-dependent membrane hyperpolarization.

The ability of γ‐hydroxybutyrate to antagonize the K+‐induced release of monoamines from brain slices does not appear to be unique to the release of newly synthesized dopamine from the striatum.

The ability of gamma-hydroxybutyrate to antagonize only the K + -induced release of newly formed DA may explain why this agent causes a rapid and selective increase in brain dopamine.
