Description
GABA, Gamma Aminobutyric Acid, is an amino acid
classified as a neurotransmitter (A neurotransmitter is
a substance that transmits nerve impulses across a
synapse. A synapse is a region where nerve impulses are
transmitted across axon terminals.)
GABA's high concentration in the
hypothalamus suggests this amino acid plays a
significant role in hypothalamic-pituitary function. The
hypothalamus is a region of the posterior section of the
brain and is the regulating center for visceral
(instinctive) functions such as sleep cycles, body
temperature, and the activity of the pituitary gland.
The pituitary gland is the master
endocrine gland effecting all hormonal functions of the
body. One primary hormone of concern to the athlete is
growth hormone (GH) and its various hormonal
constituents.

The amino acid GABA has been shown in
numerous studies to promote significant increases in
plasma growth hormone levels.
There
have been literally hundreds of clinical studies on GABA and numerous studies on GABA's ability to elevate growth
hormone levels. As with most nutritional studies, GABA
research has come directly from the medical community.
One noted study from the First Medical Clinic at the
University of Milan in Milan, Italy titled, "Effect of
acute and repeated administration of gamma aminobutyric
acid (GABA) on growth hormone and prolactin secretion in
man", shows just how effective GABA is.
Quoted results from this study
showed "In all of the 19 subjects studied, compared with
18 controls, plasma growth hormone levels were
significantly increased (above 5 ng/ml) by acute oral
administration of 5 g of GABA."
This
study showed over a 5 1/2 fold increase in plasma growth
hormone levels 90 minutes after GABA administration.
That is a significant increase unmatched by any other
nutritional means.
