  • Title: [Pharmacological influences on the brain level and transport of GABA. I) Effect of various antipileptic drugs on brain levels of GABA].
    Author: Varotto M, Roman G, Battistin L.
    Journal: Boll Soc Ital Biol Sper; 1981 Apr 30; 57(8):904-8. PubMed ID: 7272065.
    Abstract:
    The effects of some antipileptic drugs on the level of GABA in the mouse brain was studied using standardized chromatographic methods. Diphenylhydantoin and carbamazepine determined a marked increase of the cerebral GABA level, whereas phenobarbital, diazepam a,d clonazepam were without effect. The results seem to indicate that diphenyihydantoin and carbamazepine, by increasing the GABA level, may act through an enchancement of the GABA-ergic transmission.
