“…Muscimol opens chloride channels, resulting in neuron hyperpolarization and stability. Several other studies have shown that GABA A receptors are abundant on myenteric plexus neurons [108][109][110][111]. Majewska et al [112] have also demonstrated that the progesterone metabolite, 3·-hydroxy-5·-pregnan-20-one, has a potent barbiturate-like ligand effect on the GABA-barbiturate receptor complex.…”

“…Electrophysiological and biochemical data suggest that GABA receptors are located on somas of AH neurones and GABA receptors are found on the nerve terminals of both AH-and S-type neurones (Ong & Kerr, 1987;Hills et al, 1987;Gentilini et al, 1992;Krantis et al, 1994). The results of pharmacological studies indicate that thesubunit of the GABA receptor is coupled to the chloride channel (Cherubini & North, 1984;Taniyama et al, 1988;Zeiter et al, 1996).…”

“…GABA receptors are coupled to ligand-gated L-type Ca> and Cl\ channels on smooth muscle (Ong & Kerr 1987;Napoleone et al, 1991;Gentilini et al, 1992;Krantis et al, 1994;Zeiter et al, 1996).…”

“…A subset of enteric neurons contain GABA, and both glutamic acid decarboxylase and GABA transaminase are in the enteric nervous system (Miki et al 1983;Saito and Tanaka 1986;Jessen et al 1986Jessen et al , 1987Furness et al 1989;Williamson et al 1996;Krantis et al 1998). Moreover, there is anatomical and physiological evidence for GABA A , GABA B and GABA C receptors in the gastrointestinal tract (Fargeas et al 1988;Bertrand and Galligan 1992;Gentilini et al 1992;Krantis et al 1995;Zeiter et al 1996;Poulter et al 1999;Fletcher et al 2001). It would be expected that a specific GABA uptake system is also present, and indeed GABA uptake into enteric glia and neurons has been demonstrated (Jessen et al 1979;Kerr and Krantis 1983;Saffrey et al 1983;Furness et al 1989), although GABA transporters have not been specifically identified.…”
