γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a naturally occurring substance, which is a product of decarboxylation of the amino acid glutamate mediated by the synthesizing enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase. GABA is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter of the brain and acts mainly through the GABAA receptor (GABAAR). GABA is locally produced by the pancreatic beta cells. GABAARs are also expressed in various immune cells, including T-cells, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and are known to exert immune-inhibitory effects. Recently was studied, that GABA has the potential in treatment of Type I Diabetes. Moreover, was shown, that GABA administration could enhance immunity under stress conditions.

Primary | Gammalon Approved UseGamma-aminobutyric acid helps to restore the metabolism of the brain: activates energy processes, improves glucose utilization and blood supply, increases the respiratory activity of tissues. GABA has a mild psychostimulant effect, has anticonvulsant activity, stabilizes high blood pressure, improves memory, increases the productivity of thinking, helps restore speech and movements after disorders of cerebral circulation.
Given these properties of the active substance, Gammalon is prescribed for adult patients with:
Vascular diseases of the brain (damage of cerebral vessels, atherosclerosis, caused by hypertension), especially in cases when they are accompanied by sleep disorders, headache, dizziness;
Atherosclerosis of cerebral arteries with concomitant phenomena of softening of the brain;
Conditions after cerebrovascular accident, stroke, traumatic brain injury;
Chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency, dyscirculatory encephalopathy, characterized by impaired attention, memory and speech, headaches and dizziness;
Symptom complex of motion sickness (sea, air sickness);
Alcohol encephalopathy;
Alcoholic polyneuritis.
In pediatrics, Gammalon, according to the instructions, is used for:
Cerebral palsy;
Lag of mental development, accompanied by reduced mental activity;
Consequences of birth and / or craniocerebral trauma;
Symptom complex of motion sickness. |

The HEK293 cells constitutively expressing exogenous GABA receptor π subunit (GABRP) revealed the growth-promoting effect of GABA treatment (serial concentrations: 0, 1, 10, 100 μmol/L);for 6 d). GABA treatment stimulated GABRP-positive pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell proliferatio and activated the mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal–regulated kinase (MAPK/Erk) cascade. These findings imply that GABA and GABRP could play important roles in PDAC development and progression, and that this pathway can be a promising molecular target for the development of new therapeutic strategies for PDAC.
