[GABA reuptake by rat brain slices in hypokinesia and under the influence of cinnarizine and flunarizine].

Studies showed that 15-day restriction of motor activity inhibits the reuptake of GABA by sections of the rat brain cortex and hypothalamus. In prolonged intraperitoneal injection of 10 mg/kg cinnarizine in hyperkinesia, further inhibition of this process in hypothalamic sections is encountered on the 15th days. Flunarizin (1 mg/kg) administered in a like manner has no significant effect on GABA reuptake. A course of GABA injections in a dose of 5 mg/kg improves in rats with restricted motor activity the local blood flow in the frontal lobe of the brain.
