A sonicated liposome suspension of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and phosphatidylserine (liposome-entrapped GABA), intraperitoneally administered in rats, inhibited EEG epileptic activity induced by penicillin, whereas GABA did not. A significant increase (20.4%) in brain radioactivity accumulation occurred at 5 min after i.p. administration of [14C]GABA associated with phosphatidylserine in comparison with the administration of [14C]GABA; such an increase persisted after 20 min. However, the accumulation of radioactivity into brain synaptosomes demonstrated a 24.1% increase at 5 min and subsequently showed a 43.3% increase at 20 min after injection of liposome-entrapped GABA. The above findings suggest that phosphatidylserine stimulates exogenous GABA uptake into brain GABAergic nerve terminals.
γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)与磷脂酰丝氨酸的超声处理脂质体悬浮液(脂质体包裹的GABA)腹腔注射给大鼠后,可抑制青霉素诱导的脑电图癫痫活动,而GABA本身则无此作用。与注射[14C]GABA相比,腹腔注射与磷脂酰丝氨酸结合的[14C]GABA后5分钟,脑放射性积累显著增加(20.4%);这种增加在20分钟后仍持续存在。然而,注射脂质体包裹的GABA后5分钟,脑突触体中的放射性积累增加了24.1%,随后在20分钟时增加了43.3%。上述发现表明,磷脂酰丝氨酸可刺激外源性GABA摄取进入脑内GABA能神经末梢。
