Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from patients undergoing lumbar puncture for suspected neurological diseases were fractioned into macromolecular (MW > 3000 Daltons) and small molecule components (MW < 3000 Daltons). The macromolecular component was tested for its interference with GABA stimulation of 36Cl- accumulation in rat cerebral cortex microsacs. For many pathologies, no interference was apparent; an exception was two patients with Parkinson's disease in whom there were clear signs of stimulated GABA activity. This last result seems worthy of further investigation.Entities:
