  • Title: [Nipecotic acid, a competitive inhibitor of the net uptake of 3H-GABA by rat brain synaptosomes].
    Author: Kovalev GI, Raevskiĭ KS.
    Journal: Biull Eksp Biol Med; 1981 Jun; 91(6):692-4. PubMed ID: 7272486.
    Abstract:
    The kinetics of inhibitory effect of nipecotic acid on two different types of 3H-GABA uptake (apparent uptake by intake and net-uptake by predepolarized synaptosomes) was studied. Nipecotic acid was shown to inhibit the net-uptake of 3H-GABA by competitive route. It is concluded that analysis of inhibitory, action of a substance and of its kinetics should by performed with due regard for at least two components; homoexchange of GABA which might reach 50-60% of total radioactivity taken up and the net-uptake of the neurotransmitter.
