Abstract:
The effect of melatonin on in vivo γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) accumulation in several brain regions was determined by measuring the increase of GABA levels following inhibition of GABA transaminase. A single melatonin injection (25-300 μg/kg) augmented significantly, by 17-20%, GABA accumulation in the hypothalamus and caused a dose-dependent increase of this parameter in the pineal gland. Significant rises of GABA accumulation were found in the cerebellum and cerebral cortex after administering 100-300 and 300 μg/kg of melatonin, respectively. © 1986.
