RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Decreased levels of GABA in the inferior colliculus of the epilepsy-prone hamster (GPG/Vall) A1 Fuentes Santamaría, Verónica A1 Alvarado, Juan Carlos A1 Herranz, Antonio S.

K1 Densitometría K1 Hamsters K1 Aminoácidos AB Abnormalities in GABA levels in the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (CNIC) of the epilepsy-prone hamster (GPG/Vall) were evaluated by using immunohistochemistry, densitometry and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). These findings demonstrate a decrease both in GABA immunostaining (neuropil and neurons) and in GABA concentration (HPLC) in the CNIC of the epileptic hamster compared to control animals. These decreases may reflect a reduced availability of this neurotransmitter that may act as an audiogenic seizure-initiating factor.
