“But in the presence of L-NAME , a nitric oxide synthesis inhibitor, although GABA- induced vasorelaxation was not suppressed at a dose of 1 µM of GABA in all groups, this response was suppressed with the other doses of GABA.”

“Both the inhibitory and excitatory effects of GABA were blocked by TTX and L-NAME + apamin; the GABA-induced contraction was also sensitive to L 732-138.”
“An NO decreasing dose of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) decreased brain GABA concentration and increased the convulsant action of picrotoxin.”

“Our findings tend to indicate that the change of behavioral state observed after systemic or intra-DRN administration of L-NAME is partly related to the reduction of GABA and adenosine at critical sites in the CNS.”

“1.0 mM L-NAME significantly decreased basal extracellular GABA , while abolishing the NMDA-evoked release of the amino acid.”
“The nitric oxide synthase inhibitor L-nitro-arginine-methyl ester (L-NAME; 100 microM) increased basal GABA release, and also enhanced release of GABA evoked by NMDA (100 microM) compared with the same concentration of NMDA infused alone.”
“The inhibitor of L-arginine-NO synthase N omega-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester L-NAME ) (10(-4)-3 x 10(-4) M) reduced the NANC relaxations elicited by GABA and low frequency electrical stimulation in a dose-dependent manner.”

“On the other hand, NO seems to be involved in the inhibitory effect of GABA on prolactin release since hemoglobin, a scavenger of NO, and Nw‐nitro‐L‐arginine methyl ester , an inhibitor of NO synthase (NOS), blocked the pituitary response to GABA.”
