Various doses of GABA from 0.25 to 5 mumol injected into the third ventricle decrease serum TSH rapidly. The same effect was observed with GABOB (10 mumol), the hydroxylated form of GABA. The inhibitory effect of both of these drugs

A rapid and simple reversed-phase liquid chromatographic method that did not require the derivatization of 4-amino-3-hydroxybutyric acid (GABOB) was developed and validated. The method proved to be suitable for the determination of GABOB concentrations in finished pharmaceutical product (tablets). The

gamma-Amino-beta-[3H]hydroxybutyric acid ([3H]-GABOB) was formed in rat brain from 2-[3H]-hydroxyputrescine that had been chemically synthesized from 2-oxoputrescine and [3H]sodium borohydride. After the injection of 2-[3H]hydroxyputrescine into the lateral ventricle of a rat brain, the rat was killed and then the
