摘要
The effects of GABA and GABA agonists on calcium and depolarization-dependent stimulation of tyrosine hydroxylase activity in striatal slices were studied. Gamma-Aminobutyric acid and (-)baclofen inhibited, while muscimol and (+)baclofen did not affect, the stimulation of tyrosine hydroxylase. The inhibitory effect of GABA and (-)baclofen was blocked by the GABA(B) antagonist, phaclofen but not by the GABA(A) antagonist, picrotoxin. The data suggest that the activity of tyrosine hydroxylase on dopaminergic nigrostriatal terminals may be modulated by GABA via GABA(B) receptors.
