Co-operative Effect Between γ-Aminobutyric Acid A Receptors and Central-Type Benzodiazepine Receptors on Amylase Release in Rat Parotid Acinar Cells

We investigated the inhibitory role of γ-aminobutyric acid A (GABA A ) receptors on amylase release and the evidence for functional coupling with central-type benzodiazepine receptors in rat parotid acinar cells. Muscimol and GABA decreased isoprenaline-induced amylase release. This effect was block...
