GABA Gamma-aminobutyric acid
Description: <b>Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)</b> is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, and its dysregulation has been implicated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD).<br>
-Altered GABA levels: Some studies report reduced GABA levels in the brain of AD patients, while others show compensatory increases in certain brain areas.<br>
Enhancing GABAergic signaling is being explored to:<br>
-Reduce neuronal hyperexcitability.<br>
-Alleviate agitation, anxiety, and seizure-like activity in AD.<br>
-Improve memory and cognition in early disease stages.<br>
<br>
-dietary sources of GABA. They include broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables, certain peas and beans, and oat, wheat, barley, rice, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and spinach<br>
