GABA exerts complex effects on arteriolar diameter in the rat retina. These actions appear largely dependent upon the activation of GABAB receptors in the retinal neuropile, possibly those located on perivascular Müller cells. Despite these findings, endogenous GABA appears to contribute little to the regulation of basal arteriolar diameter in the rat retina.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
