摘要: Abstract The endogenous γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content of the rat pineal gland and superior cervical ganglion (SCG) was measured by high pressure liquid chromatography. It found that GABA levels in both tissues increased after decapitation animals. frozen within 20 seconds same as removed from animals killed microwave irradiation. Amino-oxyacetic acid, a GABA-transaminase inhibitor, these tissues. Dimethylphenylpiperizinium or isoniazid administration did not alter Isoproterenol SCG but change levels. ability to take up accumulate 3 H-GABA significantly reduced rats had been ganglionectomized. A fluctuation seen occur when measures were taken at different times day. These results tend suggest may have some functional role ganglion.
