  • Title: [The radioprotective effect of GABA-tropic substances, gamma-hydroxybutyrate and piracetam].
    Author: Kulinskiĭ VI, Klimova AD.
    Journal: Radiobiologiia; 1993; 33(1):133-6. PubMed ID: 8469734.
    Abstract:
    From experiments in mice, it is shown that with a radiation dose of 8 Gy (LD96) the radioprotective effect was exerted by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), substances that increase its concentration in tissues (progabide and valproate), and synthetic agonists of both receptor types, particularly baclofen, a GABA-receptor agonist. The radioprotective effect is also exerted by gamma-hydroxybutyrate, not piracetam.
