is an amino acid which acts as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It inhibits nerve transmission in the brain, calming nervous activity. As a supplement it is sold and promoted for these neurotransmitter effects as a natural tranquilizer. It is also used as increasing Human Growth Hormone levels and is popular among body builders.

Application
Neurotransmitter | l In vertebrates, GABA acts at inhibitory synapses in the brain by binding to specific transmembrane receptors in the plasma membrane of both pre- and postsynaptic neuronal processes. l Neurons that produce GABA as their output are called GABAergic neurons, and have chiefly inhibitory action at receptors in the adult vertebrate. |
Brain development | l The main observation was that in the hippocampus and neocortex of the mammalian brain, GABA has primarily excitatory effects. |
Other application | l Depression l Premenstrual Syndrome l Male Contraceptive |
