[Effect of vibration on gamma-aminobutyric acid metabolism in the brain in various functional conditions of the adrenal cortex]

Abstract

The low-frequency vibration during 30 min (20 Hz, A = 0.4 mm) has been studied for its influence on the level of components of the GABA system and dicarbonic ++amino acids in male rats at hypo- and hyperfunction of the adrenal cortex. It is shown that under these conditions of the experiment the GABA level and glutamate-decarboxylase activity increase. Hyperfunction of the adrenal cortex against the background of vibration causes a relatively less pronounced increase in the GABA content, than the vibration alone or against the background of inhibition of adrenocortical function in the organism.
