γ -Aminobutyric acid is an important inhibitory neurotransmitter, exists in the brain tissue, widely involved in the metabolic process of brain tissue, its main physiological functions include sedation, anti-anxiety, blood pressure lowering, improve brain activity.
1. Sedation of nerves, anti-anxiety function: γ-aminobutyric acid, also known as GABA, is an inhibitory transmitting substance in the central nervous system. It can bind and activate the anxiolytic receptor in the brain, and work with other related endocrine hormones or neurotransmitters to prevent anxiety-related information from arriving at the brain instructing center, so as to play a sedative and anxiolytic role.
2. Lowering blood pressure: γ-aminobutyric acid can act on the vasoregulatory center of the spinal cord, thus promoting vasodilation and achieving the purpose of lowering blood pressure.
3. Improve brain vitality: GABA can enter the tricarboxylic acid cycle in the brain, increase the activity of enzymes related to glucose metabolism, such as glucuronidase, and reduce blood ammonia, promote brain metabolism.
It should be noted that the use of medicines containing GABA needs to be correctly used under the guidance of a physician, and should not be used on its own.
