Increasing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and balancing glutamate, brain chemicals called neurotransmitters, may help alleviate symptoms of fibromyalgia (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

Glutamate is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, playing a crucial role in synaptic transmission and plasticity. Understanding how glutamate is transported and how it interacts ...

because it converts the glutamate to glutamic acid,” Maze says. So instead of simply removing the neurotransmitter from a histone, TG2 exchanges one neurotransmitter for another, “because you ...

Acamprosate modulates glutamate neurotransmitter pathways through an unknown mechanism to reduce alcohol withdrawal hyperexcitability. Acamprosate has been shown to be beneficial in a subgroup of ...

When you drink alcohol, the brain ramps up the release of a chemical called gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA, which helps us ...
