1 The benzodiazepine agonist clonazepam potentiates the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid on alpha-MSH release from neurointermediate lobes in vitro. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid proopiomelanocortin Homo sapiens
2 High doses of GABA (10(-5) and 10(-4) M) induced a biphasic effect on pars intermedia cells: a brief stimulation followed by a sustained inhibition of alpha-MSH secretion. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid proopiomelanocortin Homo sapiens
3 Administration of clonazepam (10(-5) M) in the presence of various concentrations of GABA (10(-6) to 10(-4) M) led to a potentiation of both stimulatory and inhibitory phases of alpha-MSH secretion induced by GABA. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid proopiomelanocortin Homo sapiens
4 Administration of clonazepam (10(-5) M) in the presence of various concentrations of GABA (10(-6) to 10(-4) M) led to a potentiation of both stimulatory and inhibitory phases of alpha-MSH secretion induced by GABA. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid proopiomelanocortin Homo sapiens
5 Thus our results indicate that endogenous benzodiazepine receptors may modulate the effects of GABA on alpha-MSH secretion. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid proopiomelanocortin Homo sapiens
