Possible Interaction: Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid and Anesthetics, Inhalation

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Enhancement of chloride ion conductance through the -aminobutyric acid type A or glycine receptor occurs in the presence of a number of inhaled anesthetics , and the resulting hyperpolarization of the plasma membrane is consistent with decreased neuronal activity.
Anesthesia and analgesia  •  2003  |  View Paper
More recent studies, however, have revealed that the receptors for inhibitory neurotransmitters such as γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine are sensitive to clinically relevant concentrations of inhaled anaesthetics.
Nature  •  1997  |  View Paper
Inhaled anesthetics such as isoflurane act to enhance responses to submaximal concentrations of GABA , but it is not clear whether their effect is mediated by an increase in the binding of the agonist or by changes in receptor gating behavior.
Anesthesiology  •  2003  |  View Paper
Because inhaled anesthetics robustly enhance GABA A receptor (GABAA-R) responses to GABA , these receptors are considered prime targets of anesthetic action.
