abstract：:Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is one of the most important neurotransmitters that regulate the excitability of GnRH neurons. Numerous studies have shown that GABA activates Cl(-) currents in GnRH neurons, and these effects are antagonized by GABA(A) receptor antagonists. The GABA(B) receptor is a heterodimer composed...
