We investigated the effect of GABA receptor agonists on the central nervous system (CNS)-mediated hyperglycemia induced by neostigmine or histamine in anesthetized fed rats. The injection of muscimol, GABAA receptor agonist (1, 2.5 nmol) into the third cerebral ventricle suppressed the hyperglycemia induced by intraventricular injection of neostigmine (1 x 10(-8) mol) or histamine (5 x 10(-7) mol). Baclofen, GABAB receptor agonist (1, 2.5 nmol), however, did not suppress these hyperglycemia. Neither muscimol nor baclofen (2.5 nmol) affected plasma glucose levels. These findings suggest that activation of GABAA receptor in the CNS suppresses the hyperglycemia induced by the stimulation of cholinoceptive neuron or histaminergic neuron, but activation of GABAB receptor does not affect them.

D009118 Muscimol A neurotoxic isoxazole isolated from species of AMANITA. It is obtained by decarboxylation of IBOTENIC ACID. Muscimol is a potent agonist of GABA-A RECEPTORS and is used mainly as an experimental tool in animal and tissue studies. Agarin,Pantherine
D009388 Neostigmine A cholinesterase inhibitor used in the treatment of myasthenia gravis and to reverse the effects of muscle relaxants such as gallamine and tubocurarine. Neostigmine, unlike PHYSOSTIGMINE, does not cross the blood-brain barrier.

D011963 Receptors, GABA-A Cell surface proteins which bind GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID and contain an integral membrane chloride channel. Each receptor is assembled as a pentamer from a pool of at least 19 different possible subunits. The receptors belong to a superfamily that share a common CYSTEINE loop.

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
