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.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
