“With long-term dosing and once target doses were achieved at 4 weeks, significant elevations in GABA were observed compared with baseline for all three drugs (topiramate 46%, gabapentin 25%, lamotrigine 25%).”
“Further, GABA (50 mg/kg) and/or muscimol (0.05 mg/kg) pretreatment with sub effective dose gabapentin (50 mg/kg) and lamotrigine (20 mg/kg) significantly potentiated their protective effects which were significant as compared to their effect alone.”
“Tentatively, simultaneous inhibition of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) release might be critically involved in the prodystonic activity of lamotrigine.”
“LTG inhibited veratrine‐evoked release of glutamate and aspartate, with ED50 values of 21 μM for both amino acids, but LTG was less potent in the inhibition of GABA release (ED50= 44 μM).”
