Abstract
Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter, may play an important role in anxiety. We studied changes in plasma GABA levels in nine healthy subjects before and after infusions of sodium lactate and dextrose. Plasma GABA significantly decreased during infusions of sodium lactate (109.3 +/- 4.4 versus 91.6 +/- 5.1 pmol/ml; P = 0.0001) but not during infusions of dextrose.Entities:
