Possible Interaction: Ammonia and Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Accumulation of ammonia induces a glutamate neurotoxicity leading to an increased tone of the γ-aminobutyric acid A (GABA-A) receptor system in the brain which results in HE.

In addition, ammonia has been shown to inhibit astrocytic uptake of GABA by 30%–50%, an effect which would increase the synaptic availability of GABA at GABA(A) receptors.
Metabolic Brain Disease  •  2004  |  View Paper
Chronic exposure to ammonia is thought to inhibit astro cytic uptake of γ-aminobutyric acid —hence, perhaps, the appar ent reversal of coma by fl umazenil— and to increase neuro steroid synthesis, which contributes to encephalopathy.

Ammonia also enhanced GABA release after 4-day treatment, although such release was initially inhibited.
These effects of ammonia (inhibition of GABA uptake and enhanced GABA release) may elevate extracellular levels of GABA and contribute to a dysfunction of GABAergic neurotransmission in HE and other hyperammonemic states.

Ammonia inhibited the release of GABA and D-ASP.

Picrotoxin, bicuculline, ammonia and furosemide reversibly blocked the inhibition induced with GABA.

Combinations of 5 mM ammonia and 5 mM glutamic acid or 5 mM ammonia and 5 mM glutamine as nitrogen source, lead to a 4–5 fold reduction of the maximum activity measurable on 5 mM γ-aminobutyric acid.

Plasma PA, but not plasma GABA , was closely correlated with plasma ammonia concentration in each group.

The production of labeled gamma-aminobutyric acid was virtually stopped by ammonia.
Plant physiology  •  1981  |  View Paper
Substitution of ammonia with GABA , glutamate, or aspartate greatly reduces the effect of glucose on the synthesis of the GABA utilization enzymes.
