In young chicks the effects of 3 min stroboscope stimulation on GABA and free glutamic acid content and on GAD and GABA-T activity in optic lobes were studied. A significant depletion in GABA and glutamic acid levels was found to occur. In addition a sustained increase in GABA-T and GAD activity was observed. In conclusion present experiments are in favour of an inhibitory role played by GABA in chick optic tectum during stroboscope stimulation.
在幼雏中,研究了3分钟频闪刺激对视叶中γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)和游离谷氨酸含量以及谷氨酸脱羧酶(GAD)和γ-氨基丁酸转氨酶(GABA-T)活性的影响。发现GABA和谷氨酸水平出现显著降低。此外,还观察到GABA-T和GAD活性持续增加。总之,目前的实验支持GABA在频闪刺激期间对雏鸡视顶盖发挥抑制作用。
