As a novel example of improved entry of poorly delivered drugs into the brain by means of nutrient conjugates, L-carnitine was conjugated to nipecotic acid and the capacity to antagonize PTZ-induced convulsions of this novel entity was evaluated.

Arousal is an important defense against hypoxia during sleep. Rat pups exhibit progressive arousal impairment (habituation) with multiple hypoxia exposures. The mechanisms are unknown. The medullary raphe (MR) is involved in autonomic functions, including sleep, and receives abundant GABAergic inputs.

International journal of neural systems, 19(3), 197-212 (2009-07-04)
In this work we quantified the in vitro calibration relationships between high frequency electrical stimulation and GABA and glutamate release in both mature retinoic acid differentiated P19 neurons and immortalized embryonic cortical cells engineered to express glutamic acid decarboxylase, GAD65.

A homology model of the human GABA transporter (GAT-1) based on the recently reported crystal structures of the bacterial leucine transporter from Aquifex aeolicus (LeuT) was developed. The stability of the resulting model embedded in a membrane environment was analyzed
