Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid levels of r-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and cyclic nucleotides were measured in alcoholic and control patients. Alcoholics without seizures had higher GABA levels than either alcoholics with seizures or controls. Levels of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP in cerebrospinal fluid of controls and alcoholics with and without seizures were not significantly different.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
