Possible Interaction: Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid and Homocysteine

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Interestingly, elevated levels of homocysteine (Hcy), also known as hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy), antagonizes beta-2 adrenergic receptors (β2AR), gamma amino butyric acid (GABA), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ) receptors.

Hcy competes with GABA at the GABA(A) receptor and affects the CNS function.

These data suggest that the imbalance in excitatory:inhibitory neurotransmission in the hippocampus caused by these alterations in extracellular levels of neuroexcitatory (i.e. aspartate) and neuroinhibitory (i.e. GABA ) transmitters could underly the epileptic effect of homocysteine.

The vesicular uptake of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) was also inhibited by kainate and L-homocysteate.

Increasing doses of L-HCA injected into the anterior striatum resulted in dose-dependent reductions in both substance P-like immunoreactivity (SP-LI) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) while there was a relative sparing of both somatostatin-like immunoreactivity (SS-LI) and neuropeptide Y-like immunoreactivity (NPY-LI).
